My name is Dr Marc van Loo. After gaining a PhD (started in Amsterdam and finished in Singapore) in mathematical physics (cosmology), I moved to education, both at university and secondary level, at private and government institutions.
I took up position of Coordinator of Critical Thinking at Nanyang Technological University around 1997 until about 2004, and took up an interest in making science teaching socially and personally relevant, as well as a great interest in outdoor education as a means to enhance general education and character education.
I am the chief editor of the [first independent guide on the International Baccalaureate], published by Cambridge University Press, and in 2000 I founded [LooLa Adventure Resort] in Bintan, Indonesia, close to Singapore, with the objective of creating a eco-friendly sustainable resort that should cater chiefly to schools, CSR-sensitive companies, and families with an interest in visiting the real Indonesia.
