At work, my active lifestyle undeniably helped shape the themes of my research: health metrics and physical exercise. I work on biomechanics, developing wearable and implantable medical devices and data modelling for personalised treatments — what I believe is the future of medicine.
Outside of travelling and cycling, I also like to spend hours tinkering with all things related to designing and building, whether it's digital and print media, graphics, web design, or 3D modelling and printing.
I'm also a (self-proclaimed) language buff — I speak several languages — with my mother tongues being English and Mandarin. If I never have to work again, I'd perfect all of them and create YouTube videos to teach others. And of course, I would travel around the world on my bike, communicating with locals and immersing myself in their cultures and cuisine. This is my true passion 😁
My biomedical engineering interests in wearables, implantables, biomechanics, signal processing and data analysis. Also, selected academic output such as publications, conference presentations, grants and patent filings are here.
I - sort of - speak English, Mandarin, Dutch, French, Afrikaans and Spanish 🤓 I see languages as mathematical formulas, which makes them easier to learn. Perhaps it's out of necessity, having grown up in different places.
My justification for owning a dozen bikes... for cycling, racing, commuting and travel adventures. Plus, everything else cycling-related: performance metrics, bike advice and maintenance.
Some of the most underrated places I've been to, often with my bike. Travel hacks, planning strategies and cycling routes from some of my trips.
Presenting to the camera - online conferences, acting - in a Dutch language course, modelling - as a cyclist. Sometimes for fun, and sometimes times for professional assignments.
From happy snaps, still life to photoshoots, I like to capture many magical memories that I come across. I'm a certified A1/A3 open category drone operator, enabling me to capture stunning outdoor sceneries. I also edit and process raw images and videos in Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects.
Some of my Photoshop and Illustrator projects that I enjoyed doing, from beautiful cycling kits to scientific posters.
Everything that I like about 3D CAD design and analysis, modelling and of course, 3D printing and building research-grade medical devices and bike components, often with Arduino electronics.
What do I do with all the photos and videos? They're processed, edited and published across various platforms. Web design, Insta reels and Youtube videos.
Good old-fashioned practical movie special effects projects with a focus on blood squibs, a device used to simulate a realistic burst of blood from a gunshot wound, as well as arrow hits effects.
Other things I enjoy include cats, bananas, coffee, cooking, baking, playing the guitar and piano and a bit of running.
