I am a second-year masters student studying the Parisian Master of Research in Computer Science (MPRI) at École Polytechnique. My research interests lie in logic, verified proofs, and proof assistants (such as Coq).

In my Masters Year 1 internship, I worked towards formalising the guard checker of Coq with Yannick Forster in the Cambium research team in Inria Paris. In my report, I documented the guard checker with examples and explanations. The full implementation is freely accessible online.

Previously, I obtained my Bachelor’s Degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science at the National University of Singapore. I wrote my thesis on the formalization of Coq Modules in the MetaCoq project, co-supervised by Nicolas Tabareau, Martin Henz, and Yue Yang. I was also part of the University Scholars Programme, the honors college of NUS.
