            preparation  for  court  hearings.  Creating  the  AI-

            Leaders of Tomorrow of the St. Gallen Symposium
            in  Switzerland  in  2011  and  2014.  In  addition,
            Mr  Chang  launched  Intellex  Stacks,  an  AI-driven
            knowledge  management  platform  on  the  law,  in                Mr Chang Zi Qian

            products,  focusing  on  biofuel  applications  and
            collaborates  with  international  interdisciplinary
            teams  with  members  from  Research  and
            Development,   Business,   Manufacturing   and
            Regulatory to create new product formats. Dr Chow
            was highlighted in the American Scientific Journal                Dr Marina Chow
