| What is your current research focus? | My research explores the underlying meanings of decorative arts. By examining the relationship between each piece and its context, I can better understand how thoughtful design influences everyday life. Through this understanding, I seek to create aesthetic spaces that support and enhance the human experience. |
| Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? | My design projects require extensive research, so I continuously engage in studious inquiry. Across them, I focus on translating abstract ideas into concrete design solutions. |
| Answer one of the following two questions about being a UROP Leader or your UROP background. | How do you hope to impact your students as a UROP Leader? |
| Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided. | As a UROP leader, I aim to make the students’ research journey more enjoyable, so they are driven by curiosity rather than obligation. I want them to discover and explore what aligns with their interests, as I believe that when students connect personally to their work, passion and determination follow, leading to more meaningful results. |
| Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share | I am interested in making the world more beautiful. I do so by drawing, writing, and making, as well as by caring for the environment, fostering meaningful connections with others, and spreading positivity. |
