About
I am a researcher and a final year PhD student in the Institute of Operations Research and Analytics, IORA, at National University of Singapore (NUS). My research includes decision making under uncertainty, information economics, sport analytics, and causal inference.
I was at MIT as a visiting student of Professor David Simchi-Levi from Jan 2020 to Feb 2020. My visit was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lecturer & Researcher.

I teach analytics in undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as in analytics executive education programs at NUS. I have won several teaching awards. I was previously a lecturer at Temasek Polytechnic and have co-authored three textbooks
Currently, I am leading three industry research projects. The first is on field studies of pilot training, and the second is on demand modeling and price optimization, both for a major airline carrier. The third one is on forecasting possible quality issues and optimal responses to the forecasts for a leading global medical device company.

Errata
- Owen, D. B. (1980). A table of normal integrals: A table. Communications in Statistics-Simulation and Computation, 9(4), 389-419.
- While trying to solve some integrals, I found an error with the integral 110 in TABLE I (page 9).
The integral is missing a “b” in the term G(x sqrt(1+b^2) + a/ sqrt(1+b^2)).
It should be G(x sqrt(1+b^2) + ab/ sqrt(1+b^2)).
