MOTIVATION
Astronomy impacts my life profoundly when I was little, since then my dream has never
changed: I want to be a professional researcher in astrophysics that can help people understand our universe better, even by just a tiny bit.
At the same time, I am also very passionate about scientific public outreach. Astronomy is
always a perfect approach to enlighten people, and I will try my best to contribute.
