    About Me:

    I live in Oxford with my lovely friends, with whom I cook, eat, chat, travel, wander around together. I am a materials researcher in the day. I am working on 3D printing batteries, then zooming in and take a close look at details of them via some really cool pieces of equipment (resolution smaller than the dimension of a human hair). Besides work, I am an archer. I was a singer in a University band. Now I play ukulele in a park sometimes.
