I love cats, polar bear, and blue color.

I enjoy reading and theater.

I love food.

March 7-11, 2022: 53rd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC), talk at  session: Celebrating Apollo 16 and 17 Missions [talk video link]. This 10mins talk covered shock features in Apollo 16 samples and their Raman spectra, also my anorthite phase diagram (There is a cat on Paul's screen!!!!). Also, I discussed the difference between Raman spectra of diaplectic glass and anorthite melt in the Q&A session, together with my opinion on the formation of planar deformation features [Q&A session video].
