My family consists of my mom, my dad, and my younger brother.  My parents have both influenced and encouraged me in pursuing my goal of obtaining a doctorate.  My mom has taught me math and helped me with my homework assignments, while my dad has discussed with me about technology and computer programming.  From tutoring my brother, I have learned that I love to teach others.  

Renewable energy and nanotechnology are interests of mine; I want to be part of these growing fields by utilizing nanotechnology to improve the energy efficiency of renewable energy resources. 

I am an avid reader of fantasy, supernatural, mystery, and thrillers.  During my free time, I would either read a good novel or browse the internet for any amateur works to read.  My favorite books are Crime and Punishment and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. 

In the future, I would like to live in Tokyo, Japan for a bit because I love the city and culture.
