Dr TAY, Wee Beng, Senior Research Scientist, email: tsltaywb@nus.edu.sg

Background
I was born in Singapore in 1976. I obtained my Bachelor of Engineering, Master of Engineering and PhD from the National University of Singapore in 2001, 2004 and 2009 respectively. During my graduate years, I was also a teaching assistant helping with tutorials for year 1 and 3 modules. I then worked as a part-time facilitator (tutor) at Republic polytechnic using the Problem-based learning (PBL) pedagogical structure for a year. Subsequently, I went to Taiwan’s National Taiwan University and the Netherlands’s Delft University of Technology to do my postdoctorate for 1 and 3 years respectively. I joined Temasek Laboratories in November 2013. My hobbies include table tennis, jogging and models making. ( My personal website: http://tayweebeng.wixsite.com/website )
