I'm a PhD student at CMU in Pittsburgh, developing lithium-ion battery technologies.

Let's talk about:
* Music - anything hip-hop, beat music, 90s electronic/dance, or 70s/80s pop
* Nature - I'm continually fascinated by biology, and I'm a physicist by training
* Beautiful vistas burned into our memory...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dunno about amazing but I hiked to the top Mt. Fuji and huddled with a group of strangers for warmth while waiting for the sunrise.

Teach, Learn, Share

English, how to use a drum machine or DJ-ing software, how to cook some simple Indian dishes (chana masala, saag, daal)

A bottle of wine, a living area left clean, and I'm always happy to be the aux cord DJ.
