SSEF Article from IMRE magazine, Perspectives (Nov 2007)

Well this took place in March 2007.

Sasha and I underwent a 6-month research attachment in the Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE), Singapore in 2006 which culminated in a project which we used to compete in the Singapore Science and Engineering 2007 in March 2007. Many thanks to our mentor Dr Dennis Tan who was our mentor. We managed to clich the Gold medal in what must have been the most surprising moment in my life.

14 Gold awards were given out of the 330 research projects competing. Awards were announced by sticking labels on winners’ posters. After 13 Gold awards had been given out, I thought that was it. We did not win anything at all. No GOLD anymore…

But suddenly the Results Official walked right up to my booth, stood on my chair… and pasted the yellow GOLD label on my research poster. I stood there dumbfounded, jaw on the floor, and could not believe my eyes. Praise the Lord!
