> About Me
PAB B135
I am a freshman at the University of Washington in Seattle. Previously, I was at Stanford Online High School, attending classes virtually while living in South Korea.
I like physics. Broadly, I am interested in the geometrization of modern physics through the Standard Model and beyond. Given the geometric elegance of general relativity, along with the fact that early-universe models are a natural "laboratory" of high-energy particles, I've grown increasingly interested in the intersection of cosmology and particle physics as well.
Classics is another of my affinities. I took the AP Latin exam in 2024 and have studied Ancient Greek independently since 2023. Currently pursuing a minor in Ancient Greek.
Other than physics and classics, I enjoy medieval fantasy, 2000s-era Romanian EDM, and pin-tumbler lockpicking. At some point, I learned to code, which comes in handy—like when making this page. Stereotypically, I've been playing the violin since 3rd grade. I like pretty much everything Bach.
I also know all the lyrics to Despacito.
