Michelle’s project is focussed on the development of sensors that will measure a range of polluting compounds in the air, using novel devices. Before starting her PhD on the CAPACITIE Project, Michelle got her undergraduate degree from the National University of Singapore. She also has experience in laboratory work from Singapore’s National Laboratories, where she conducted research on chemical warfare agents and their degradation products.
"I have always been interested in the field of analytical chemistry. Being involved in the research work that revolves around environmental issues gives me a sense of purpose and makes the job meaningful as it could directly or indirectly impact mankind."
