Student Researcher | Chemistry • Physics • Engineering

I am a high school student interested in chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering, especially in how scientific ideas can be transformed into practical solutions.

My work has taken me from chemistry laboratories and academic competitions to engineering prototypes, research internships, and community projects. I enjoy problems that require both scientific understanding and hands-on experimentation.

What interests me most is not simply whether an idea works, but what I can learn when it does not.
