Q: What are your physics/science interests?
Anything that interests me. I don't really have a preference.

Q: What are your other interests?
Playing badminton.

Q: What would you like to do after college?
Most likely go to graduate school for Physics PhD degree.

Q: Tell us one strange but interesting fact about yourself.
Uhh.... I'm paranoid about not locking my door. I always think that I did not.

Q: What first sparked your interest in Physics?
A professor of mine opened up my mind to becoming a Physics major. I was currently a Mechanical Engineer major at that time and was in her introductory Physics class. And she noticed me after my first exam and asked me to think about switching my major to Physics. It took me an entire year to decide but I've been always interested in Physics ever since the first semester of college.

Q: If you could have any pet what would it be?
I have a dog and her name is Pooh. And I would most likely still get a dog if I can have any pet.

Q: If you had a free month and unlimited funds, how would you spend your time?
I would definitely go around the world to explore and eat amazing food.

Q: If you could get a grant to study anything what would it be?
I would still be studying Physics. In what field in particular, I am not sure. But I have always wanted to explore some aspects of Condensed Matter.
