Pak Hui Ying is a PhD candidate from the Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute (NEWRI), which is part of the Interdisciplinary Graduate Programme. With prior experience in water monitoring, her current research work delves on water turbidity monitoring using hyperspectral imagers mounted on drones. She discusses with us the practical issues of conducting field experiments in large water bodies, a necessary part of her prior and current research works. She also talks about several other topics including the sharing of research data to the public, “mental” blocks where new research ideas are difficult to materialize and methods to maintain work-life balance.
