Passionate about unraveling the secrets of matter and driven by an insatiable curiosity, my journey in chemistry began as an undergraduate where I was captivated by the elegant dance of molecules. 

 

Fueled by a desire to contribute meaningfully to scientific discovery, I immersed myself in research projects that explored the intersection of inorganic synthesis and materials science. The transformative power of chemistry to address complex societal challenges became crystal clear, motivating me to pursue graduate studies.

 

I'm currently working in Dong's lab, and we as a group are focused on developing perovskite quantum dots capable of single photon emission.
