Winnie Faustinelie is currently a year 2 student from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), majoring in Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, known as CBC, and expected to take specialization in Food Science and Technology. Apart from her study, she is also active in her Faculty Club, which is School of Physical and Mathematical Science (SPMS) Club, currently a part of the 15th Management Committee. Her role in SPMS club is as CBC Representative. Being a CBC Representative, she works closely with the CBC committee members in order to achieve programs that will benefit CBC students, be it CBC division night, Industrial Visit, sharing sessions by the seniors, etc. She believes by doing so, CBC students are able to be more familiar with their courses and at the same time, make more friends. This optimistic girl believes that one can strive through experiences and challenges. And here comes to her decision, stepping out of her comfort zone to try new things, such as stepping up as CBC Representative. |

Christopher Kevin Wijaya is an undergraduate student studying Chemistry and Biological Chemistry (CBC) in Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore. His main interest lies within organic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis, which he is currently working on with the aid of theoretical and computational tools. He believes these tools can be applied to various fields of chemistry to give fresh new perspectives that could lead to interesting discoveries.Apart from his research interests, he was the CBC representative of the 14th management committee of the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences club. He was in charge of the CBC students’ welfare, and together with his team, they organized events such as industrial visit, reopening of CBC Library, and Mad Scientist Day. As a way of giving back to the students’ community, he hopes these events benefited them and created meaningful experience. |
