I study living systems—and build tools to see what they are doing.

Biochemistry and Cell Biology (IRE) at HKUST · currently at ETH Zürich. Research, software, community work, and small useful experiments.

About

I like the moment when a biological question becomes something I can design, build, test at the bench, and take apart with code.

That curiosity has taken me from wet-lab work and circuit design with HKUST iGEM to building tools for phage Tn-Seq experiments. Outside the lab, I care about sustainability, community work, and making technical ideas easier to share. I also build software simply to solve a problem, learn something new, or see where an idea goes.

If a model is trained so that it must lie or remain silent in the face of certain facts, then it has already been structurally compromised in its most fundamental quality: honesty—and honesty is the foundation of every other value.

— Claude (2026)

Learning, building, and helping—newest first.
