I am a PhD student from Malaysia. I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences (Infectious Diseases) from The University of Edinburgh in Scotland, United Kingdom. 

My PhD research delves into understanding the co-evolutionary dynamics between bacteria and their viral predators, bacteriophages, within the human gut. My project is a collaboration between the Laboratory for Microsystems and the Barr group (Biological Sciences), where in the Laboratory for Microsystems, I envisage to design a gut-on-a-chip device to simulate the human gut environment. This artificial gut set-up will provide the environmental conditions to conduct my primary study of the evolutionary microbiology between bacteria and bacteriophages. ​My project mainly includes concepts and techniques from microbiology, cell biology, evolutionary biology and engineering.
Beyond the lab, I like to spend my time playing music, learning languages, exercising and trying out coffees from every café within reach. ​
