Biography

Throughout the years, I have been driven to align my passion for the environment by becoming an environmental engineer. At the same time, I start to realize that I need to be equipped with a holistic view of the context engineering fits into and a multidisciplinary approach to solve problems faced by industry and society. Through the MPhil program in Engineering for Sustainable Development, I hope to learn sustainability concepts and strategies to practically implement these concepts into engineering design and projects. I also strive to recognize the complexity of inter-relating environmental, social, institutional and economic factors as well as the uncertainties associated with them. Without seeing “the big picture”, engineers are confined in their technical domain, and as a result, their engineering products are often isolated from their context. As I advance in my career, I want to lead changes towards environmentally and socially proactive engineering practices.
