Meet the people behind the research
Nobody wakes up one day and decides to be a researcher.
It starts with one person seeing a problem and having the courage to do something about it.
To us, research is about so much more than lab coats, bar charts and research papers. It’s about real lives and real experiences. For researchers across the world, research is a promise to make the world a better place.
Here at NTU, our researchers come from a variety of backgrounds, and they all have a powerful story to tell. In this series, we share their stories. From the mothers, the dancers and the engineers, to the refugees, the survivors and the volunteers.
This is their research, revealed.
