About Me
PhD Candidate @ UC Berkeley
I currently work on solving the water decontamination problem by developing new polymer catalysts that can decompose ester pollutants to less toxic molecules.
I am interested in developing new materials, writing code to solve problems, quantitative trading, and venture capital...
I've called Wuhan, Beijing, and Berkeley home.
I am always down for building cool things with science & code.
I like playing basketball, playing and watching online games (Overwatch and DOTA2), and k-pop(IU, Jennie, Jihyo).
Fun fact about me: I am so scared of birds, or anything with feathers!
