Took a break from working on my capstone research project to visit Future Cities Lab's exhibits on food systems and geography at Gilman Barracks as part of NTU CCA Singapore IdeasFest 2023!




Excited for the Urban Studies Capstone Presentations at Synecdoche, Pookie this Thursday, including my presentation on how the emergence of work-from-home in #Cebu's #BPO sector is changing patterns of economic #geography in the #Philippines




Quoted The New York Times: "The context here is that, for the longest time, the Marcoses have not been given access to the international space,” said Cleve V. Arguelles, the chief executive of WR Numero Research, a polling firm in the Philippines. nytimes.com/2023/05/02/wor…

My project at Synecdoche, Pookie on the impacts of remote work on Philippine economic geography was awarded Outstanding Capstone in Urban Studies! I am grateful to the Urban Studies major and my advisor Prof Stern for enabling me to do independent research on issues & places I care about


Yesterday I was among the Synecdoche, Pookie students present at the American Chamber Singapore Regional Economic Participants organised by The American Chamber of Commerce in Singapore and APEC Secretariat. Lots of interesting people and good food!


Today I officially started work as a research assistant on geospatial planning support tools at Singapore-ETH Centre Future Cities Lab. It's exciting stuff with many exciting and impactful projects in the pipeline!



Asked my friend Ishmam to take new photos of me in front of CREATE Tower, sporting ANTHILLFabricGallery traditional Filipino binakol fabric (probably my favourite shirt ever, and one I've used in my past few LinkedIn photos) #NewProfilePic





The Swiss National Council visited Singapore-ETH Centre this week, and I had the unique honour of demonstrating the _urscape planning support tool developed by Future Cities Lab to Maja Riniker and other members of Parl CH who stopped by. Thank you for your support of ETH Zürich's research impact worldwide!


And last but not least, Future Cities Lab Global's engagement platform, ur-scape & Global Views tools, for better measurement of #urbansustainability.


Thank you Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat of #Singapore for visiting the exhibition of the Singapore ETH Centre (SEC) at the CREATE Symposium 2023. Special thanks goes to all Singapore-ETH Centre members for their great job in organizing the event.
