Miscellaneous

Hobby

I feel excited about what I am doing every day! In my spare time, I also enjoy coding (checking repositories with elegant code), reading, trading, and watching TV series.

• I am an enthusiastic coder. I use Fortran, Java, C(C++, C#), Python, Ruby, Julia, R, Stan, Matlab, JavaScript, Stata, Mathematica, Bash, SPSS, SmartPLS, SQL… It’s amazing to observe that AI has the ability to handle some of my routine coding tasks.
• I enjoy reading various genres, including philosophy, economics, physics/complexity, biography, and sci-fi. Someday, I hope to write books that appeal to both academic and general readers. My favorite book is The Three-body Problem!
• I consider myself an engaged (part-time) crypto trader. The financial market not only reflects the mathematical beauty ingrained in its structure but also captures the intricate nuances of human behavior through its ever-shifting dynamics.
• I am especially interested in TV series related to finance (Billions), science (The Big Bang Theory), technology (Silicon Valley), politics (Yes, Minister), societies (The Wire), and healthcare (Dopesick).

Sports

I’m a runner and a retired taekwondo athlete.

• My Personal Best (PB) in 100m is 11.2s.
• I won a silver medal in a city-level professional sports meet.
• I also finished a Road Cycling around Qinghai Lake (360 kilometers) in four days.
