Biography

Sarah graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (Engineering System Design) with a focus track in Business Analytics and Operations Research in Singapore University of Technology and Design. She did a 3-month internship at the Centre for Liveable Cities in 2021 and performed spatial analysis on the floorplans of HDBs in the Bedok neighbourhood to investigate the visibility and walkability of the area. Her interests lie in cities and sustainability, and how data and technology can be used to better understand the behaviour of cities and the behaviour of humans within them.

She is supporting Harvey, Samuel and team on the “Enabling Meaningful Human-Wildlife Interactions in Urban Singapore “ and “The Future of Asian Cities-Citizen Urban Science: Practice and Policy” projects.
