About
Scientist, Entrepreneur, Former VC. Passionate about technologies that transform human life and bring a lasting positive impact to the world. Founded ShennonBio in 2021 to advance precision immunotherapies for cancer. Prior to ShennonBio, I spent 5 years as a deep tech VC, first starting at Bessemer Venture Partners, later as a Partner at Foundation Capital, evaluating and investing in startups that employ technology innovations to solve critical global scale problems, spanning biotech, robotics, quantum computing, space tech, and the earliest AI applications. I have a B.Eng in EE with a minor in Business from NTU in Singapore, M.Eng in Materials Science from MIT and PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard University. Coming from an engineering background, I believe in applying 1st principles in problem solving, which often leads to the most simple solutions.
