I'm a PhD candidate in Bioengineering at Stanford University, and I am interested in the fluid mechanics of microorganisms. I also enjoy problems in scaling laws and statistical mechanics.
I have always believed that the ability to quantitatively predict a phenomenon is the most beautiful achievement of human knowledge. My devotion to biology began after attending a speech about ecological modeling in high school. In that speech, I learned about the simplicity of the Lotka-Volterra model, which inspired me by illustrating how biology can be explained by quantitative theories.
Retrospectively, I am grateful that a quantitative mindset is deeply rooted in my love for biology. When I was in medical school, I was far from satisfied with a plain statement of a piece of knowledge without proof. As a hobby, I self-learned mathematics and physics and tried to build mathematical models to help me understand more about the mechanisms.
When I was in my fourth year of medical school, I had a strong desire to learn more about biophysics, so I began searching for online resources. However, I was disappointed because, while I could find many excellent blogs dedicated to quantum physics or astrophysics, it was challenging to find one specifically focused on biophysics, with more than 10 posts, featuring mainly scientific content rather than just career information, and updating regularly. Consequently, I decided to start my own blog in 2016. Initially, it was a Facebook page written in Chinese, which later evolved into a blog hosted by Blogger. Now it is in Notion. This blog allows me to nurture my passion for biophysics while completing medical school, and it holds deep personal significance for me. Now, as a Ph.D. student, one of my short-term dreams is to feature my own work on this blog when it gets published.
Outside the world of science, I am also a passionate worshiper, an amateur baker, and an aluminum-wire art maker.
