About

Here's my picture when I was in North Vietnam with the background of Southern part of China.

Hi! I'm Noel Kristian, in short Noel. I am a chemical engineer by training and have been working in Singapore Polytechnic as a lecturer since 2010. I obtained my Bachelor degree in chemical engineering from Bandung Institute of Technology Indonesia, back in 2004. I worked for a while in a multinational company, Philip Morris International before I decided to further my study. I joined Nanyang Technological University Singapore in 2006 as a PhD student and I completed the requirement to obtain the doctorate degree in 2010. My PhD research was on electro-chemistry, specifically on the development of low-cost Fuel Cell technology. I enjoy hands-on activities and the Fab Academy tagline "You can make almost anything" really intrigued me. Despite not having electrical/mechanical/computer engineering background, I hope I can learn and put all the skills that Fab Academy offer into practice and also to inspire my students to join the maker movement. Besides that, I also enjoy traveling to new places especially South East Asian countries. There are many exotic and beautiful places that I haven't explored yet, so if you have any recommendations, just message me via instagram/facebook/email.
