Work: I have special interest in and have research experience in optics, especially lasers and pulsed laser plume imaging and deposition. I also possess teaching and research experience of more than eighteen (18) years. I have also some experience of research in countries such as Italy, China, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. Conducted research and published papers in the areas of lasers ablated plasma imaging and dynamics, spectroscopy, and solid-state physics. I am currently engaged in optical measurements of solar materials at Plasma Sources and Applications Centre (PSAC), NIE, Nanyang Technological University.
