What do I do?

I’ve been a fan of higher mathematics for most of my life, and am still actively pursuing it with a view towards research some day. My main interests lie in algebraic topology and differential topology, and related topics such as homological algebra and category theory.

I also spend time thinking about philosophy. My main work is in the intersection between Western phenomenology and Eastern religious traditions (particularly Buddhism), with a view towards developing methodologies for applications in broader philosophical contexts, particularly ethics. I often also think about other miscellaneous topics with a more practical view, particularly ideas related to education and pedagogy, and the mental health system in Singapore.

On a more practical note, I’m also currently involved in helping juniors in training for the Singapore Physics Olympiad. I’ve been training HCI’s team since 2023, and will be until the end of 2024 too, when I hope to pass on the torch to other trainers!
