Beyond the lab

Outside of school, these are the things that keep me curious and motivated.

01Motorsports

Lights out and away we go.

From Formula 1 to endurance racing, I love watching all forms of motorsport. There's something captivating about the engineering precision, driver skill, and strategic depth that goes into every race. Feel free to reach out so we can talk more about it!

F1: I try to catch every race each season — hoping 2026 is a good one
Also watching: Endurance racing & MotoGP
Behind the wheel: Sim racing is a big hobby of mine

02Music

Woodwind first, keys second.

I play and listen to music as a way to relax and wind down. I've played flute for 10+ years, mostly classical — Bach is my favorite — and I'm learning piano to expand my range. I also love discovering new artists across genres.

Spotify listening this year: 0 minutes. no regrets

03Wenwan

Slow hands, quiet mind.

Wenwan is the traditional Chinese art of collecting and appreciating cultural objects — prayer beads, walnuts, and other small collectibles. There's a satisfying patience to it: the patina only comes with time and handling.

Collecting: Prayer beads in various woods and materials
Why: The calm of handling and caring for each piece
When: Whenever I'm not busy — which is rare
