Meet Our Team

Hi Hi, I'm Caelen and one of the editors for this journal. Personally, I hope this journal can be a place that can encourage mutual learning and growth between reviewers and authors. About myself, I've been dabbling in research for a few years now, trying things from hydrogel synthesis, drug screening assays to computational stimulations. Currently, I'm working on improving DNA amplification techniques at A*STAR. Something random is I like sweet things a lot, be it novels, shows or bubble tea.

I’m deeply interested in mathematical research, specifically due to its highly logical and precise nature. Some of my favourite topics include combinatorics, probability and graph theory, and I am currently working on a research project in the intersection of these fields. Previously, I also did research on provable security in cryptographic systems, making use of proofs to analyse the security of Range Searchable Encryption (RSE). I am also currently working on an implementation project which allows different users and devices to access the same server securely. Apart from research, I’m a cross country runner and a big foodie!

Hi! I’m Shuan Luck, currently a Year 5 student studying at Hwa Chong Institution. In the past, I have worked on research in the field of microbiology where I looked at the anti-cancer and anti-bacterial properties of certain natural extracts. More recently, I have been involved in the use of remote sensing technologies to study the carbon storage capacity and architecture of trees. I especially enjoy research in Biology because it draws more direct links to commonly observed phenomena and is concerned with life in general, which still holds many uncertainties.

Hi I’m Jayvon and I’ll be reviewing for the computational research projects! I am currently interning at the Centre for Brain Computing Research, NTU, where I’m training dual machine learning models to decode tonal imagined speech. My interests lie in computational neuroscience and linguistics, particularly applying AI to develop novel technologies for individuals with neurological disorders. Outside of research, I enjoy playing water polo and watching old movies with no colour (ps I’m colourblind)

Hi! I am Ern Kang, and I will be reviewing some of the chemistry articles! I've been delving into environmental science research since 2022, having worked with green nanoparticles, graphene oxide and dye-sensitised solar cells. Alongside research, my pursuits revolve around my flute and olympiads, where I just find a thrill doing papers and learning more from exposure. I'd say the most enjoyable time you will have doing chemistry is when you make too many mistakes. ;P

Hi, Derrick here. I'm an avid STEM enjoyer, specialising in olympiads for Math, Informatics (coding), Chemistry and (formerly) Physics. I rarely do research-style projects, but I have done 1 in Math about square numbers and 1 in Chemistry about graphene oxide before. I mostly do STEM for fun, to try to push the boundaries of what my brain can handle. Asides from these, I also play rhythm games and do cybersecurity.

Hello! I'm jethro chai, and I've taken part in a variety of research projects regarding physics, chemistry and biology! Currently, I am working on the deposition of thin, translucent and conductive carbon films. I love dedicating time into learning more about life. In the future, I hope to have greater opportunities to study the world around us deeply.

Hello, I’m Janhvi from RI :D I first dipped my toes in science research in lower secondary, where I worked on projects involving the use of plants for bioremediation/biofiltration. In Year 3, I investigated the remediation of microplastic-contaminated seawater using magnetite nanoparticles at Science Centre under the science mentorship programme! A fun fact about me is that I’m a pescetarian (i.e. vegetarian + seafood), and I’m passionate about the intersection between the environment and public health!

Hi, my name is Matthias and I will be reviewing for the computational projects. I am currently working on a research project to predict floods from different predictor variables using machine learning techniques. I also recently participated in the second International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) where I got to work on all sorts of creative and interesting problems.

Howdy! I am Ethan and I help vet the chemistry articles. My passion for STEM actually started off with astronomy (after all, who doesn't like stargazing?). But the idea that I could make everyday objects with my own two hands has always been fascinating. This required me to learn about what the stuff around is made of, which requires chemistry. Hopefully reading these articles fosters the same love for science that it does in me. ;)

Hi I’m Ethan from RI and I will be one of the reviewers for Physics. My interests lie mainly in fluid dynamics, which stems from my participation in SYPT 2024. However, I have engaged in multi-disciplinary research, including in AI, material sciences and healthcare and I am currently doing an SRP project with the NUS School of Behavioral and Implementation Sciences Intervention. Some of my other interests include rugby and gaming.

Hi, I'm Katelyn! I would be looking at some of the engineering papers for this research journal. I am currently in my school's robotics club (Club Automatica) and have previously interned at DSO. Apart from that, I am also interested in chemistry, though I'm more interested in physical chem than organic chem. Fun fact: I can speak (some) german!
