Global Materials Science and Innovation Manager

Senior Technology Manager

At Halliburton in Singapore, I serve as the Global Materials Science and Innovation Manager, leading strategic initiatives that harness advanced materials to drive innovation across our global energy technology portfolio. Based in one of Halliburton’s key regional hubs, my role integrates materials science with business strategy to enable next-generation solutions in completions, well construction, and energy transition technologies.


I work across global R&D centers, product lines, and manufacturing sites to translate scientific insights into real-world applications—ranging from novel polymers and high-performance composites to corrosion-resistant alloys and additive manufacturing. I also lead collaborative programs with universities, suppliers, and public research institutions to stay at the forefront of emerging technologies.


Key areas of focus:

  • Driving global materials innovation strategy aligned with Halliburton’s technology roadmap
  • Leading multi-disciplinary innovation programs from concept to commercialization
  • Enabling sustainable material solutions to support Halliburton’s goals
  • Building and managing external partnerships with research institutes and suppliers
  • Supporting reliability, performance, and manufacturability across Halliburton’s materials portfolio

Working at the intersection of science, engineering, and innovation, I’m proud to contribute to Halliburton’s mission of delivering smarter, safer, and more sustainable energy solutions for the world.
