I'm a curious person who loves exploring. That led me into research and eventually I become an astronomer. My research interests and CV highlights my journey in this field.
Outside of science, I'm interested in sports, traveling and photography. I also love intellectual discussions on a variety of topics. I enjoy a good laugh and like to stay easy-going.
