About Me:
I come from China, arrived in the UK three years ago, and now I’m living in Cambridge. I’m a genetics researcher during the day and a striving badminton player outside work. I love all sorts of sports! Sci-fi cartoon and movies!

When not working, I like to get myself physically worked out through hours of badminton, cycling, or climbing – it is very helpful in clearing out a mentally strained mind and helping me get a great night’s sleep.
I came a long way from China to work in the top-notch institute in Cambridge. And it did not disappoint me. What’s struck me most is the supportive environment for creative thinking, risky but high-return research project that address long-term problems. The opportunity to work on something that’s truly interesting is rare, and rewarding in the work itself.
I hope you find something like this too!
