I was born in Boston and had a chance to live in many other cities - New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Canberra, and Seoul - and to meet people from diverse backgrounds. I believe promoting diversity is essential. 

In my free time, I enjoy drawing comic strips, painting, and traveling. I love both cats and dogs, please don't make me choose!

Sang is my significant other and co-author. We enjoy cooking together and discussing new research topics.
