Short break for #rowing during the annual Row for Hope fundraiser. "Not too rusty!" is all I could have hoped for! 😅 University of #Cambridge alumni won against #Oxford, and the #NTU #Singapore team won against the official #NUS club. Business as usual! ☺️ Now, back to academic "rowing"! 💪

Skills on display at the #NTU #Singapore Mid-Autumn Festival. Now with the video to prove it! 🥢 Is it a result of practicing twice per day (lunch & dinner), or just from years of making #perovskite devices? Tweezer control is on point 😏
