I am Taiwanese born in Texas and grew up in China. I did my undergraduate study at UIUC and was in Professor Krogstad's group researching corrosion resistance on aluminized pipeline steel. I did a short exchange at Kyushu University in Japan and worked on molecular dynamics simulations for ionic diffusivity in Lanthanum Oxyflouride. I am a huge fan of Japanese manga and I draw a lot of anime fanart.

At Northwestern, I am working on additive manufacturing of eutectic aluminum-cerium alloys.
