Alison, Wee

Alison Wee’s passion in conservational biology started young while she was still a secondary school student. However, it was her participation in the NUS Overseas College in Stockholm that gave her passion a clear direction. Through interactions with various NGOs/NPOs such as WWF and Biomimicry Institute in Sweden, Alison came to learn that conservation must make complete economical sense. Upon her return to Singapore, she eagerly searched for channels through which she can create a greener future. This brought her to Energy Carta. Alison strongly believes that clean energy is the key to sustainability—the foundation to every conservation effort. Her core interest lies in biofuel, carbon sequestration and forest genetics. Currently she is working on her thesis under the Plant Biotechnology Group in Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory.

Bharath, Seshadri,

Bharath is a Mechanical Engineering student with diverse interests. He has been a part of publicity teams of various companies and organizations. Joining Energy Carta is his first foray into the Environmental and Alternate Energy sector. He hopes to make a substantial contribution in raising awareness among Asian youth about opportunities in this field. He is also very excited about being a part of a global movement through his involvement with Energy Carta.

Agustiadi, Lee

Agustiadi is currently a second year undergraduate at National University of Singapore, majoring in Material Science and Engineering. His interest and passion for clean energy and clean technology brought him to be part of Energy Carta 6 months ago. Since then, he has worked under the Outreach team in domestic as well as foreign publicity. He is also one of the liaisons for the foreign delegates attending the Asian Youth Energy Summit 2008. Last but not least, he will also be involved in the Event Management team to ensure that the conference runs perfectly.

Yue Sern, Gan

As a Chemical Engineering Student, Gan Yue Sern has always been very interested in applying his knowledge to the field of sustainable energy development. His first hands-on experience with renewable energy began in an Australian desert, and in desperate need for power to recharge his handphone battery, borrowed his friend’s solar charger and stood in the hot sun during an army exercise just for that one phone call back home. Ever since that fateful day, he has never undervalue the importance and versatility of sustainable energy and hopes to see greater implementation of its use in our region.

Yetfeng, Mak

Yet Feng is currently pursuing a Chemical and Biomolecular Bachelor’s Degree in NUS. Her course has allowed her to gain more knowledge and interest in issues pertaining to cleaner alternative energy resources and led her to join Energy Carta to do her part in contributing to a cleaner environment. Seeking to experience culture diversity,Yet Feng was previously involved in a Youth Expedition Project and stayed in a village in Laos.The community involvement programme inspired her to believe that little efforts can make great impact when one has the sincerity.
