Biography
Royston Shieh Teng Wei holds a B.Eng. from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and is a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering. He is a Teaching Assistant at the Engineering Design and Innovation Centre (EDIC), where he co-lectures systems engineering modules and supervises capstone and undergraduate research projects.
His doctoral research examines transient pressure surges in gas–liquid slug flow at the NUS Multiphase Oil–Water–Air Flow Loop to develop design-relevant surge models for pipelines.
Before his current role, he served as an Aircraft Systems Engineer with the Republic of Singapore Air Force on F-16 maintenance and troubleshooting. He later co-founded 2 technology startups, Alpha Electrics and Solutions16, leading the design of swappable battery systems and IoT-based Advanced Metering Infrastructure deployment.
At EDIC, he collaborates with industry partners on the design, testing, and deployment of sodium-ion battery solutions for industrial applications. He is an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and a Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (MIMechE).
