Current Research

  • QCD Soft-hadron Phenomenology, Large Scale Structures of the Universe and Neutrino Physics. Large Hadron Collider (CERN): CMS Collab-NUS EoI Representative. Astronomy & Physics Education.

Astromony Education

Led 5 teams to build Educational Observatories and establish Astronomy programs in schools:

  • SSTS (Singapore Science & Technology School) 3m-NisshinDome Observatory (2024)
  • NJC (National Junior College) Roll-off-Roof Observatory (2012),
  • NUS (Physics Dept.) Roll-off-Roof Observatory (2011),
  • NUS (High School) 3m-Nisshin Dome Observatory (2005),
  • NYP (Nanyang Polytechnic) 3m-Nisshin Dome Observatory (2000, 2014 upgrade).

NUS Physics department Roll-off-Roof Observatory (2011): 17” Plain-Wave CDK (F6.8 Corrected Dall-Kirkham) Astrograph Telescope (Dual carbon-fiber truss design) equipped with a 4” Takahashi (Hydrogen Alpha Solarscope) on the latest computerized Showa 25E German Equatorial Mount.
