Hobby: Badminton

Started learning playing badminton from college. Have been playing regularly since then.

Played in department team of NTUEE. Continued playing when studied in UCLA and UMN. Also played at other places when I visited friends across US.

At UMN

In San Diego with friends from NTUEE department team

At UCLA: Bruins Open with my double partner

At NTU: NTU cup

At NTU: regular department training

Travel: US

Traveled to several national parks/state parks across US.

Silver Bay, MN

Sequoia National Park, CA

Yosemite National Park, CA

Death Valley National Park, CA/NV

Grand Canyon National Park, AZ

Travel: Japan

A big fan of Japanese language and culture. Started to learn Japanese from college and continued learning on my own afterwards. Passed Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N1 in 2016 during my mandatory military service. Continued taking Japanese courses during my study at UMN.

Have traveled to Japan several times. The photos were taken when I traveled to Tokyo by myself at the end of 2019 and spent the New Year there.
