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!
