Dr Fu Gang

Dr Fu Gang
Post Doctoral Fellow, MST Programme

"I joined the SMA four years ago. I find that SMA is a good platform for researchers as there are many outstanding professors from both Singapore and MIT for us to work with. In addition, the liaison with MIT also provides us with opportunities to exchange ideas and experiences with the researchers in MIT. The research project that I am currently working on revolves around the subject of microfluidics device manufacturing, and is challenging, cutting-edge and very interesting. I would say that I really enjoy my research life in SMA."
