Undergraduate Student Researcher @ Nanyang Technological University
At Nanyang Technological University (Aug 2020 - Present), I demonstrated critical thinking skills during the time I enrolled in the undergraduate research program URECA. I was part of a research project working on developing a new lumbar traction device specifically optimized for home use .To do this, we had to take numerous existing designs in the market and perform evaluations to analyse the associated issues and disadvantages, and utilize critical thinking to brainstorm new ideas to counter these issues. I proactively designed, analysed and modified many new ideas for the device and our team is currently in the process of perfecting a prototype model for the device.

I chose to analyse a simple and practical example related to the everyday life of students such as myself, and to analyse deeply in all possible economic viewpoints.
