About Me
I am a chaser of our nearest blazing star that has been nourishing lives on our planet for billions of years and simultaneously has the potential in destroying mankind. I study the sun, its atmosphere, behavior, activity, and its ability in causing magnetic storms on our planet Earth.
In 2009, I started my career with the hope of building electronics subsystems someday. In college, while I learned that space-based electronics systems can malfunction due to nominal solar activities, I wondered and started digging more into this topic and finally decided to pursue my career in space weather research in 2014. I somewhat fulfilled my intention and became a doctorate in the space weather research field. Currently, I am a post-doctorate researcher and still chasing my dream.
Apart from research, I follow creative musicians and play musical instruments in my leisure time, a proud fitness freak, love to do yoga, and enjoy gathering knowledge on the history of human civilization of the Middle ages.
