I am a Ph.D. graduate from the National University of Singapore (NUS). My research interests lie at the intersection of generative AI and sound design. I am passionate about bridging the gap between arts and technology by designing intelligent interactive tools for creativity. During my PhD I was advised by Dr. Suranga Nanayakkara, Dr. Kokil Jaidka, and Dr. Lonce Wyse.

I am currently open to collaborating on projects at the intersection of AI and sound design. If you interested in collaborating with me or are hiring for postdoc/industry research opportunities in audio, please reach out.

Before NUS, I worked in the industry for ~15 years in various roles. I helped build and architect solutions for various financial institutions, such as Credit Suisse and Lehman Brothers, and consulting organizations, such as Capgemini and Oliver Wyman.

I believe that we all need to do more to improve gender diversity in tech. I co-founded the Women Who Code network in Singapore in 2016 and led the network in the city as a Director until 2020. I was also involved in building developer communities for YOW! Conferences in the city.
