Life Outside Research
minä perhonen
minä perhonen is my favorite brand. I love its imagination and thoughtful craftsmanship, especially the original patterns. “minä” means “I” and “perhonen” means “butterfly”; the name reflects a hope that its clothes help each person express their individuality and live more authentically.
Qingdao
I grew up in Qingdao, a coastal city in China. Living near the ocean shaped many of my habits, and I still love walking by the water and enjoying slower moments outside work.
Lana Del Rey
I love Lana Del Rey's music and have collected many of her vinyl records. I like listening to them when I want something calm, soft, and atmospheric.
Film Photography
I enjoy shooting with film cameras. The process is slower than digital photography, but that slower pace is part of the charm for me.
Rock Climbing
I recently started indoor rock climbing and bouldering. It is a good way to exercise, clear my mind, and spend time away from research.
