Education
Project SEEK was part of VJC ODAC's yearly Youth Expedition Program, where the goal that year was to advocate the importance of sanitation and maintaining personal hygiene to the natives of Sikkim, India located in the Himalayan Mountains.

Project SEEK was part of VJC ODAC's yearly Youth Expedition Program, where the goal that year was to advocate the importance of sanitation and maintaining personal hygiene to the natives of Sikkim, India located in the Himalayan Mountains. Prior to the expedition, we spent several months preparing for the education programmes for the natives through liaison with the World Toilet Organization and the Singapore Restroom Association. We also had to prepare ourselves physically for the trek up to the villages and beyond, along the Goecha-la trail, up to a height of 5500m above sea level.
As the head of the Education Team, I was responsible for leading team in:
■ Preparation of easy-to-understand educational materials (booklets, souvenirs, posters) for children at a local school,
■ Conducting of an interactive lesson with songs and dance for said children,
■ Choreographing a cultural exchange performance for said school.
As a team member of the expedition group, I:
■ Aided in construction of an ecological toilet for said school and the painting of murals.
■ Engaged in community service in Singapore prior to trip in collaboration with Singapore Restroom Association and World Toilet Organization to advocate same agenda among local primary school children.

Final Year Project - Optimizing Bus Deployment for Bridging Services during MRT Disruptions
-
■ Essentially, it is about using Operation Research techniques (or Linear Programming) to optimize the deployment of bridging buses to the various stations during an MRT disruption case scenario I set.
■ The motivation of my project came from learning that the current public transport operators (PTOs) deploy buses on an ad-hoc basis.

■ The motivation of my project came from learning that the current public transport operators (PTOs) deploy buses on an ad-hoc basis.
■ My project used travel demand from EZ-link card data, derived using R to find what is the best arrangement and number of buses sent to each station, given the limited supply of buses available, among other constraints.
■ Initially, my project was at a larger scale. To optimize the bus bridging system, there are several sub problems to solve. One would be to create the optimal routing system based on the stations that are down, the other would then be to send the optimal number of buses per route. Then there is the matter of accurately modelling the commuter flow. Ultimately, to scale down the scope, I only focused on finding the optimal number of buses per route, which was designed manually, and assumed a deterministic flow of commuters.
