Fragrance of food got me interested in chemistry when I was young. I am currently working with Dr. Zhibo Yang and Dr. Yihan Shao on mass spectrometry imaging studies, which can provide intuitive view of spatial distribution of different substances. I am planning to continue my career in industry with my knowledge in mass spectrometry and data analysis.
