- likes all kinds of music, but mostly listens to things like Lemaitre 🌌, Kavinsky 🎧, Daft Punk 🤖, or deadmau5 🐁.
- graduated in 2019 with a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Earth Sciences at Carleton University.
- is currently an Industrial PhD candidate in Materials Science and Engineering at McMaster University, particularly on Correlative Microscopy.
I have a passion for philosophy and design. I discuss matters about ethics, theology, epistemology and metaphysics. I am an agnostic in the following sense :
Agnosticism - the belief that the existence or non-existence of deities or God is currently unknown or unknowable and cannot be proven. A weaker form of this might be defined as simply a lack of certainty about gods' existence or nonexistence.

Some history...
I am actually a Huguenot (by decent). My mother is from Shanghai. My father is from Montreal with both German parents. I am therefore half Chinese, half German. I was born in Ottawa, Canada in 1995.
I speak ~five languages :
- French
- English
- German
- Mandarin
- Spanish (learning, personal interest)
- Russian (still learning...)
My first instrument was supposed to be the violin. My teacher made me promise never to give up no matter how difficult things would be. I promised. I did learn some basics, but my teacher was the one ending up not holding his end of our agreement. I ended up learning piano. It was enjoyable. My sister was significantly more advanced than me. [Many years later, parents divorced, etc] I started to learn guitar. I have been playing ever since. I first started back in 2009.
It is in my belief that one must be open-minded in order to think [clearly], to be authentic and to be able to progress [in all]. Nothing is simply "correct", nor is anything simply "wrong". On the expression of one's perception/belief on a subject, the automatic reaction of rejection or denial without consent of the full expression is a sign of ignorance. In other words, I am open to all opinions. I welcome you to express yourself fully when necessary.
