Born and raised in Hong Kong, I’m a PhD student in theoretical cosmology studying statistical methods to search for axion cosmic strings using light from the distant universe. I’ve also been a key developer of the scientific critical thinking course, Sense and Sensibility and Science, which is now being taught in universities and high schools around the world. As a classically trained musician, I play the piano and the clarinet. As a tenor, I have sung in operas and am a member of the San Francisco Symphony Chorus. In my spare time, I contribute to mathlib, a library of computer formalised mathematical proofs, and write Wikipedia articles in English and Chinese. Outside of nerdy pursuits, I enjoy travelling and hiking in nature. I’m excited to meet and learn from people from different disciplines and different countries.
