I wanted to make Babies

I mean artificial intelligence (AI) babies. Humans are smart, but we are not smart enough to self-detect viruses, tumors or performing very precise prediction towards the consequences of our actions. We are also fragile such that we evolve slow, and susceptible to physical, biological and mental harms. But these risks and time can be minimized with the application of AI. For example, in the longitudinal study of dementia, some mild cognitive impairment (MCI) participants develop into dementia patients while some did not, and no one can really explain why. However, with the help of AI, we can simulate the conditions and based on the outcomes, we can proceed with organs-on-chips for further evaluation before coming up with a better medical suggestion for human subjects.

Artificial Intelligence
Everyone is talking about Deep Learning. But I wanted to do more. I hope to bring deep learning into assistance not just to the industry development, but more directly associated with humans daily living. Lots of animals were used for physiological experiments, but there are many things which we still couldn't determine through the experiments while more animals are put to suffer when we failed our experiments. Deep learning would be the perfect substitution for some of these, simulating different possibilities so that we can do the right things better. At some points, when the technology gets improved further, we might even have hope to create handy equipment that can make us superhuman, e.g. performing knowledge transfer while we sleep via BCI, alerting for medical assistance when detect abnormal secretion. Nevertheless, we definitely can use AI to detect a diagnosis quicker and more accurately, which would come into extra practical to save time and maintain consistency.

Neuroscience and Human Behaviors
With the prolonged lives of humans, we are prone to declination in cognitive functions. Besides, while everyone is struggling to be in pace with new trends amidst of the rising living cost and decrease in human bondings, we also face increment in difficulties from mild to serious social issues such as: over-spending, robbery, addiction, extremist mindset, suicide and homicide. These can possibly be minimized with better approach of coaching, induced physiological inhibition/reverse mechanism and virtual companion advisor. But of course, it is always good to monitor how it all started so we can rewire older days better. Hence, the acquisition of knowledge in babies would be a pleasant area to investigate too.
Cybernetics - Robotics and Designs
I love to do hands-on work, it feels extra satisfying with the outcome for doing so. I really hope to set my feet working beyond the software parts and have a taste of assembling the hardware someday. From planning to designing, implementation and execution, and possibly to commercializing, it will be a proud opportunity to gain immediate user experience feedback, understand the full flow of a project and give fixes to both the software and hardware more precisely in a timely manner. Most importantly, the joy of bringing happiness that could brighten up the world of those in need is way too precious and exciting. For example, restoring motor ability for quadriplegic individuals.

Nanomedicine
Despite I did not have my background set on molecular medicine, nanomedicine is really exciting to me! It is the key to better assisted immunity and perhaps a solution to future replacement organs and early detection of infection. I totally see the inseparable relationship between nanomedicine and neuroscience. Possibly, we will manage to find a solution to self-regenerate a damaged body part via nanomedicine technology and stem cells? Besides, who knows if we might even find an alternative to food farming too?

CAREER HISTORY

*PI: Dr. Raphael Kaplan

*Happily shared the lab with DoellerLab.
I like swimming, weight training, yoga, nature exploring (super slow pace because I'm a bit acrophobic somehow, with very mild mysophobic), basketball, anime, random handcraft and food making, trying new activities, and more. I'm also quite OCD over tidiness. But these hobbies and habits can be on and off according to will. In fact, that glimpse moment of idea sparkling is what I can never resist. They can come massive and rapid or they can be just an instinct that 'this may work'. I'm an active thinker and it's uncontrollable. Most of the time, I would come across random thoughts during bathing times. Relaxing moments - that's when all the cheeky ideas kick in for me.
