She is currently a hydrocarbon allocation engineer at PETRONAS, Malaysia’s world-renowned oil and gas company. She received her B.S. degree in chemical and biomolecular engineering from KAIST where she has wore multiple hats as the president of the KAIST International Student Association (KISA) and MARCOMM director of the KAIST BizWorld organizing committee.
There is a professor I have had regular meetings with since the first semester in my department. When the time came that I was searching for research opportunities in my area of interest (lithium ion batteries), I talked to that professor about it and he recommended a professor in another department who is gaining a lot of recognition recently in the specific field. Long story short, he accepted me to be a research assistant in his lab where I have worked over two years under him which includes two URP grants for two different projects. In August of last year, I was awarded the Excellent Prize for my research project that I presented at the campus-wide KAIST URP Workshop.
After the completion of my URP he recommended me to another professor, with a similar research interest but different focus. These professors are also the ones who have successfully recommended me to the graduate schools and jobs that I applied for, including my current position at PETRONAS.
