Research is fun!!! To me, doing research, is much more than just doing lab-work, taking data, analyzing data, and writing report. It's all about the passion... the pleasure of finding things out... the thrilling while waiting for the results... the joy when the result is finally out, regardless it's positive or negative... And, most importantly, research is one way for me to get to know God better... by careful studying of His creation :)

My research interest lies in the following fields:

• Physics of nonlinear dynamics. Some people call it chaos theory, but basically, this is one cool branch of physics when you're dealing with non-deterministic system. By deterministic, I mean is that you can't predict the system to behave linearly. In fact, it might involve some probability to happen. Analytical solution is usually difficult to get here, although it's not impossible to have one. Thus, we have to resort to numerical techniques to solve the problem. That's why this area of physics is very related to computational physics.
• Laser application on nano-to-micro-scaled physics. I have some, although limited, experience in dealing with digital video microscopy (DVM) and optical tweezer (OT). It's interesting to see how you can grab those polystyrene balls or cut carbon nano-tube using focused laser.
• Theoretical physics. God created the universe, and the universe, is indeed marvelous and full of mysteries. It is interesting to follow scientists in trying to unlock the mystery of the universe... and definitely I would like to be involved in this struggling effort.
• Computational theory & complexity. I'm not interested in hardwares... I don't care what the lastest Pentium is capable of. But I want to know what distinguish a classical computer, i.e. your laptop, home PC, I-mac, etc (universally known as Turing Machine), as compared to quantum computer. Yet, there is still another computing technology, called DNA computer. Different computing technology invokes different principles, and consequently it solves different level of computational complexity.
• Animal Study. Not so much into biochemical or molecular level, but more on their anatomy, behaviours, and social lives. So far, my knowledge in this field comes from those edutainment channel (mainly Discovery, Animal Planet,and National Geographic), yet I don't mind to be involved in such researches.

Nevertheless I'm still proud of what I have done, not because of the content or the impact of the research, but because of the skills that I have learnt and for the perseverance I have gone through to acquire those skills (thanks to the Lord). Surely, it will be useful in one way or another for my future career as a scientist :)
