Beyond research

What keeps me curious and moving

Away from the lab, I recharge through movement, travel, making, volunteering, and strategy games.

Keep Moving

I am a dedicated fan of hiking, strength training, and badminton. If you are planning a trail, a gym session, or a friendly match, I would love to join. 🏸

Travel and Making

Travel is one of my favorite ways to discover new places and perspectives. During my exchange semester in Korea, I visited 12 cities, an experience that left me with many unforgettable memories. I also love making things with my hands, especially puzzles and LEGO builds. Recently, I have become fascinated by 3D printing and have been experimenting with all kinds of playful creations. 🧩

Volunteer Work

I have contributed nearly 100 hours to volunteer activities. I care deeply about supporting children on the autism spectrum, and I hope to keep giving my time, attention, and patience to inclusive communities.

Strategy and Games

I am a long-time strategy-game enthusiast, especially when it comes to Civilization VI, Teamfight Tactics, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, and StarCraft. I am also a long-time Minecraft player. If you are up for a match, a co-op session, or an ambitious build, come find me!

Photography

Photography is another creative outlet I care deeply about. All of the photography featured across this website is my own, and I am now beginning to shape these images into a personal photography portfolio.

Up for a hike, a badminton match, or a Civilization VI session?
