Personal

I was born and raised in Chengdu, China, a city known for its relaxed lifestyle, world-famous Sichuan cuisine, and giant pandas. At 16, I moved to the UK, where I have now lived for over 11 years. Living between two cultures has shaped my outlook and continues to influence the way I approach both research and everyday life.

Outside of my academic work, I enjoy travelling, hiking, and cooking. I love exploring new places and learning about different cultures, which often sparks new ideas and creativity in my research.

I believe that maintaining a healthy balance between work and life is essential for productivity, and I always enjoy connecting with people who share similar interests inside and outside of academia.

Here are some cool places I've been to during my PhD.
