CURRENT MISSION

Make the most of the time I have: work on fusion power, live a humble and courageous life, remember to spend time with the people I love

ABOUT ME

My friends describe me as tall, thin, and modest.

I enjoy reading, the outdoors, a variety of sports (soccer, tennis, volleyball, frisbee), and my hobbies include robotics and origami.

Things I do in my free time include surprise picnics, programming, and violin.

I am currently pursuing my PhD at Caltech in plasma physics.
