Hello everybody!

This is my personal website. I want to use the website to record the track of my growth, which is, I think, fairly meaningful. During the old-time, people wrote a diary to record their lives; while we have Internet servers today, which helps store data, like website, cloud drive, or Youtube video. Why not using them to work as a diary?

In January 2019, it’s the first time that I came to the United States of America, about which I still feel excited until now when I recall the memory I arrived the airport of Houston, TX.

In December 2019, I came to the U.S. again for attending the 178th American Society of Acoustics, San Diego. After the meeting, the COVID pandemic broke out around the world, for which I couldn’t go back to my mother country, China. Thus, I applied several universities for Ph.D. degree to continue my study.

In March 2020, I moved to Austin, TX from San Diego, CA, because I planned to enroll in the University of Texas at Austin in August 2020. However, due to my Visa issue, I was not allowed to enroll in UT Austin at the fall of 2020.

In January 2021, I officially enrolled in UT Austin as a Ph.D. student, studying and working at UT Acoustic MEMS Lab, supervised by Neal A. Hall.

I think the enrollment as a Ph.D. student is just the beginning of my next-stage life. And I could imagine the life is to be amazing. Therefore, I open the website at the beginning of my Ph.D. study to record my living and working.

Keep loving.

Keep exploring.

Keep thinking.
