Andrew Tan received his MEng in Mechanical Engineering in 2013 from The University of Nottingham. Developing a measurement tool for the Water-Energy-Food Nexus of Malaysia based on systems thinking, he has successfully obtained his PhD from the same university in 2018. Andrew was a manufacturing engineer in Agilent Technologies and Motorola Solutions, where he ensured the smooth development and sustenance of product manufacturing lines. In these positions, he has led extensive manufacturing projects across different teams, time zones, and varying concurrent engineering phases. Outside of work, Andrew enjoys playing chess.
