About me

I’m a scientist majoring in chemical-physics and analytical-chemistry. My research works include the thermodynamic properties of gas hydrates, the behaviors of water in confinement, solid-phase extraction, and flow analysis automation. In my free time, I enjoy game programming, web design, photography, and classical guitar. I am also a lucky husband and a proud father.
