Global Challenge: Health
I wish to more closely intertwine myself with the fate of the world today — to fight its battles, to celebrate its joys, and to reduce its sufferings with technology, and an open mind.
Bio:
Born and raised in Shanghai, China, I enjoy making music, solving Rubik’s cubes, and traveling with my friends. I love spreading the appreciation of science to those around me. Since 2015, I have conducted multiple district-wide STEM lectures and workshops in Shanghai, where I introduced scientifically curious adolescents to topics like 3D printing, virtual reality, and cryptocurrency. During community services in regions of China and Indonesia, I witnessed the unequal distribution of resources in society, which motivated me to help the less privileged populations through better infrastructure and policy. Currently, I’m the team lead of the VIP team Selfdrive and an undergraduate researcher in the AI4CE and FAMS labs, working on robotics and medical research. I also take an active role in EG1004, mentoring students on various design projects. As I progress in my studies, I wish to expand my knowledge in engineering and science communication, so I can empower a larger population with my research and inventions.
