From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm currently a 29-year old junior at Rice University in Houston, Texas, USA. I'm Computational and Applied Mathematics major and I work part time in the Kinsey Laser Lab for Dr. Bruce Johnson and Rice Quantum Institute.

I am interested in robotics, nanotechnology and systems engineering academically. I am also interested in theoretical physics, but this is a more of a hobby-level interest.

As for other hobbies, I do some programming in C++ and Python. I drink sencha (grassy-flavored Japanese green tea) nearly everyday. I brew beer at home and take laborious notes of each batch and the results. I may work in a brewery someday and perhaps I will even build one.

I consider these entertaining hobbies. I also have serious hobbies. I also practice zen meditation and I have attended several intensive retreats, including one at Furnace Mountain that was 1 month long.
