The Tembusu (Fagraea fragrans) is a large evergreen tree in the family Gentianaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia. Its trunk is dark brown, with deeply fissured bark, looking somewhat like a bittergourd. It grows in an irregular shape from 10 to 25m high. Its leaves are light green and oval in shape. Its yellowish flowers have a distinct fragrance and the fruits of the tree are bitter tasting red berries, which are eaten by birds and fruit bats. Source: Tembusu, Wikipedia

Dennis is a second-year medical student in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) programme at Duke-NUS. He was previously a Tembusu and Shan resident during his years as a Chemical Engineering undergraduate, and he is delighted to now be back in the college and Shan as a Graduate Fellow.

He is usually in a hospital ward in the daytime, otherwise you can catch him doing one of the following if he has free time (favourites in brackets): exercising (badminton), listening to music (dream pop), or enjoying TV shows and movies (horror / thriller). An adventurous and open-minded individual, Dennis also loves hiking, travelling, and exploring new activities.

Don’t hesitate to approach Dennis or drop by his room to talk about anything! Some starters: ask him about his growing vinyl record collection, or entice him with chocolate / black sesame.
