I'm an aspiring astronomer from Malaysia and India studying Physics and Aerospace Engineering at Caltech. I have lived around the world in Indonesia, Gabon, Mexico and now here in the USA.
I want to work at the intersection of science and engineering on space missions. Space exploration is a human endeavour and I want to meet people and make friends as we further this mission together.
I am currently working on the ASTHROS balloon mission at NASA JPL.
Some of my hobbies inlcude:
Playing Volleyball
Making Music on the Piano and Clarinet
Teaching and sharing Science
Stargazing and Camping
Travelling around the World
I also enjoy stargazing and astrophotography. Both are much easier to do in dry California than Kuala Lumpur's cloudy skies.
I love reading and am buried in this book by Anthony Doerr. I highly recommend it for historical fiction lovers and scientists too!
