Long Distance Running π¨
I love long distance running, it's part of my life. I used to run 5k when I was an undergrad, but after coming to Northwestern I was once impressed by the great view along lakefront trail of Chicago, so I decided to run even longer distances. You can find my personal records in the right panel.
Below is a link to my race results:

Hackathon π§βπ»
I participated in dozens of hackathons with themes ranging from machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to solid state chemistry. I love hackathons not just because they spur my creativity, they also help me build collaborations with my hackmates, many of whom are still my best friends today. Here are some of the snapshots of the hackathons that I participated.
