Year 2 Applied Physics @ NTU | Chess Coach | Analytical Thinker & Creator

Saurav Kafle

Hi! I’m currently a Year 2 Applied Physics student at Nanyang Technological University, curious about how science shapes the world around us. Beyond academics, I’ve found a unique way to combine logic and creativity—by teaching chess.

I love making complex ideas simple and fun, whether it’s explaining a physics concept or helping a child master their first checkmate. I’m passionate about roles where I can bring together analytical thinking, people skills, and creativity.
