I have learnt a lot about how research is conducted both in theory and in practice from my time spent in the Nanotech Lab with Dr Edison H. Ang.

Prof. Ang’s approach to mentoring is both highly collaborative and research-driven. He encourages independence while providing strategic feedback, and his passion for sustainability is reflected in every project. This balance fosters both personal and academic growth. I strongly encourage anyone with an interest in sustainable nanotechnology to work with him, as his expertise and commitment to advancing the field are truly exceptional.

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!

Throughout my URECA project, Prof Edison guided me on the direction of my research and encouraged my active role in the lab. When i faced difficulties such as unexpected experimental result, Prof Edison suggested ways to move forward when and drew on his rich research experience to theorise potential reasons for the deviation.

I learnt a lot – not just research and lab skills, but also soft skills like presentation and communication – through Prof. Ang’s hands-on and reflection-based mentorship.

I learned how to operate more advance equipment within the lab and the whole manufacturing process of coin cells from plastic wastes. This provided a deep insight into the upcycling of plastic wastes, as well as impact these coin cells made from plastic wastes can have in the industry.

I would highly recommend working with Dr Edison H. Ang. His mentorship is characterized by depth of knowledge, supportive attitude, and commitment to developing his mentees.
Chemistry, Nanyang Technological University
Dr Edison H. Ang expertly guided my research on zinc-based batteries, teaching experimental techniques, documentation, and lab logistics. His consistent support, constructive feedback, and encouragement for collaboration were pivotal, leading to a successful patent and boosting my professional confidence.

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!
