One of the most memorable experience I had under Prof Edison was that I remembered how forgiving and patient he was whenever I asked him questions during our weekly meetings, especially towards a student like myself with close to zero experience in research or battery-related knowledge. Prof Edison is a great mentor and if one should have the opportunity to work with Prof Edison, don’t be afraid to approach him whenever in doubt, and don’t stop learning!

There are lots of things I learnt from my internship with Prof Ang, such as different kinds of experiment, chemicals and methods. Prof Ang was able to boost my confidence in presenting, due to the regular practise and guidance he gave me. One memorable project which I did was the Polymeric Membrane for wastewater treatment. Prof Ang guided me all the way till the very end of my internship. In addition to all these, Prof Ang is very polite and approachable! Feel free to ask him a variety of questions and he is more than willing to answer them! I am 100% sure everyone will be happy to work under Prof Ang!
