On 6 September 2026, our research group gathered at MacRitchie Reservoir for an afternoon of kayaking. Away from the laboratory, group members paddled across the reservoir and enjoyed the natural surroundings of one of Singapore’s best-known green spaces.

The activity offered a welcome opportunity for everyone to relax, spend time together outside the usual research setting, and strengthen connections across the group. Thank you to everyone who joined and helped make the outing possible!

On 8 August, our group joined Prof. Meng Xin’s team and Prof. Liu Shangwei’s team for a hiking activity at MacRitchie Reservoir. The event provided a great opportunity for members to enjoy nature, connect across research groups, and strengthen team bonding before the start of the new semester.

The gathering also served as a warm welcome to the new members joining our group this semester. After the hike, some members continued the evening with a group dinner, making it a relaxing and enjoyable way to kick off the new semester together.
