Interests

🌐 Languages

Native in Mandarin Chinese, fluent in English, and actively studying Japanese (2 years, currently at intermediate level). Languages shape how I think about communication—across cultures and between humans and machines.

đŸŽ” Music

I enjoy both performing and creating music. I sang in UCSD's Concert Choir and am currently taking courses in electronic music production and composition. Music offers a creative outlet where structure meets improvisation—not unlike research.

📚 History & Culture

Beyond STEM, I've taken courses spanning Western civilization, Japanese history, and Middle Eastern studies. Understanding how societies evolve provides perspective on how knowledge systems—including AI—develop and interact with human culture.
