What are your plans after graduation?

I want to pursue a PhD in organic chemistry.

Why did you get involved in research?

There were lots of times when I was not satisfied with explanations given in textbooks or papers, so I was propelled to be involved in research and get first-hand experience and try to explain something in my own words.

Briefly describe your favorite part about research

I am continuously learning new things and getting feedback from people in the field who motivate me to push the boundaries of human knowledge one step further. No matter what I have known before, I am always allowed to be a beginner in a different field or topic.
