NUS Nursing alumni who strive to conduct impactful research and benefit the wider community.
Woo Fong Yeong Brigitte
Research Fellow at NUS Nursing
Grauduated with: Bachelor of Science (Nursing) (Hons), 2011 and PhD (Nursing), 2020
The NUS Nursing PhD programme is very rigorous and has a good selection of research-related courses. The cohort size is small and so we had more opportunities to interact with the teaching faculty. The programme also allowed us to take elective courses from other faculties to supplement our learning as nursing researchers. The PhD programme has equipped me with skills to lead research projects and publish academic papers. Completion of the programme gave me the opportunity to join NUS Nursing as a Research Fellow which allows me to further hone my skills as a researcher.
Seah Betsy
Research fellow at NUS Nursing
Graduated with: Bachelor of Science (Nursing), 2012 and PhD, 2020
I developed an interest in research during the 4th year honours programme at NUS Nursing as an undergraduate. I enjoyed learning about the rigour of research processes, and I came to appreciate that knowledge is power. I was inspired and hope to generate useful knowledge through research and inform evidence-based practices for healthcare practitioners and in education. I moved on to embark on my PhD journey with NUS Nursing where I had various opportunities to present at international and local conferences, and to connect and learn from like-minded researchers across the globe.
Ang Wei How Darryl
Senior Tutor (NUS Nursing), Postdoctoral Fellow (University of Tokyo)
Graduated with: Bachelor of Science (Nursing) (Hons), 2015 and PhD, 2023
I am currently on an Overseas Postdoctoral Fellowship supported by the Singapore Teaching and Academic Research Talent (START) scheme at the University of Tokyo in Japan. In my current role as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Global Nursing Research Centre in the Graduate School of Medicine, I am working on developing novel interventions to stimulate advance care planning within the community. My progress thus far has been made possible by my supportive thesis advisors and robust PhD training. My thesis advisors were world class researchers and excellent teachers who imparted a wide variety of research knowledge and skills. The availability of advanced research coursework such as qualitative research methods, systematic reviews, and intervention research have allowed me to be exposed to different types of research methods.
