I have always been interested in the beauty of mathematics. The mathematical equations in physics not only describe natural phenomena but also reveal deep connections about how the universe works, which inspired me to choose physics as my major.
I’m fascinated by how astrophysics connects mathematical theory with the mysteries of stars, galaxies, and cosmic phenomena, and I’m excited by the possibility of contributing to discoveries about the cosmos.
My future plans are to pursue graduate studies in astrophysics, with a focus on pulsar research. I hope to contribute to advancing our understanding of the universe.
One of my current accomplishments is conducting undergraduate research on pulsar signal analysis, where I work on correcting and interpreting astrophysical data using mathematical tools.
