My path to science wasn't direct. From a rural town, my early university years were precarious - I was acquiring new languages and encountering new knowledge. But what seemed at first like barriers turned out to be bridges. In time, I came to realize that science was something more than facts or figures; it was a useful tool for asking questions, confronting mysteries, and embracing the unknown. Eventually, I discovered my passion: photonics, a field that beautifully merges creativity with precision and theory with practicality.

My research is currently dedicated to the development of silver nanowire-based transparent conductive films and finding new ways of improving their conductivity, transparency, and lifespan to be applied in upcoming optoelectronic devices. Whether it is optimizing a dip-coating process or building an optical communication system, each project takes me one step further towards achieving substantial technological advancement.

Beyond the laboratory, I am attracted to more subdued universes - universes fashioned through words, music, and immortal brushstrokes. Literature has shown me the elegance of ordinary strife, and classical music conveys truths that words cannot. Centuries-old paintings remind me of our common quest for meaning, balance, and clarity amidst life's ambiguity.

It is maybe through stories and art that I have come to learn my most important lesson: persistence is a quiet strength, curiosity a gentle guide, and imagination a subtle but powerful force in framing our reality.

Thank you for getting this far. I welcome you to find out more about my projects or contact me for discussion, collaboration, or just to share a moment of curiosity.
