My Academic Tree

The knowledge does not come instantly to me. Tracing back into the past, it was centuries of efforts done by my academic ancestors. I am so grateful for what my academic ancestors have accomplished in the past, and I deeply appreciate the knowledge and wisdom they have passed down to me. Their dedication and contributions to science inspire me every day to continue this incredible journey.
