Interests

Outside of research, I find peace in Chinese calligraphy, painting, and medieval landscape art. I also enjoy reading quiet literature.

I am also a road trip enthusiast. My dream is to drive across the US. I already have a detailed plan: starting from Boston to New York, through the Midwest (Ohio, the Great Lakes in Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska), visiting the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, and the deserts in Utah and Nevada. Finally, I plan to drive up the scenic Pacific Coast from Los Angeles to Vancouver.

Feel free to contact me if you share this dream. Maybe we can do it together. But first, I need to find an internship.
