Personal Bio

As an undergraduate, I mostly participated in group research projects, focusing on how to develop high-performance solar cells. I learned a lot and I believe that experience laid a solid foundation for my future research.

When I feel stressed, I like to take a moment to relax and practice calligraphy—it really helps me unwind.

Fun Fact

All my official documents have a fake birthday because the policy required kids born after September to start school a year later. Thanks to that, I get to enjoy two birthday cakes every year!

Research Pitch

I work in the field of materials science, specifically focusing on the electronic and transport properties of semiconductors. By understanding the behaviour of electron in semiconductors, we can better design and improve the efficiency of electronic devices. What’s exciting is that my research challenges the traditional way people think about how these charges behave, enrich the field of organic semiconductor physics. To explore this, I use experiments to test different ideas.

Plans for Summer 2025

Interested in participating in Summer 2025 ReMatch+ program.
