Personal Interests: 

As a Student of statistics, I am always fascinated with numbers, data, and, of course, mathematics as a whole. Though I am not involved in any research project at the moment, I do have some interest in cryptography and classic cryptanalysis. Sometimes you may find me listening to number stations (look it up! Fascinating stuff) at night or just indulging myself in math YouTube content. I am also very passionate about pen testing, though I am still quite a novice!

As a former international student, I always see myself as a part of the huge campus global community, and I am always willing to help out those in need.

When I am not doing my professional work or teaching, I like playing little video games, hiking, or just chilling out somewhere, either on campus or within the boundary of Benton - Linn County. When I am alone, I like to hang out with my cat Senna, and just do whatever with her. I am also a member of the OSU Motorcycle Club and I ride a very old Honda CBR250RR. If you want to join our Discord server, send us an email!

I am also a hobbyist barista and coffee roaster. If you want a small sample of the coffee I roasted, well...my roaster is broken so no fresh coffee beans for the time being, but if you want to have a conversation about coffee (especially espressos that taste like battery acid), I am always happy to join in!
