THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

The smallest discoveries
can change how we live.

I believe an idea finds its meaning in the life it touches. Science helps me understand what is possible; entrepreneurship asks what is worth building; education gives others the confidence to explore.

I trained in biochemistry at CUHK, worked on biosensors and infectious disease diagnostics, and continued my research at Aalto University in Finland, including a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship.

I founded Colorific as a Research to Business project at Aalto University, supported by Business Finland. My work connects DNA nanoswitch science, market needs and the path towards a venture.

I want to help ideas become tools people can use and opportunities they can pursue. That is the thread connecting the scientist, educator and entrepreneur in me.
