Why Chemical Engineering? It is the most common question I have heard since majored in this industry. I have been interested in chemistry and became more fascinated when I realized that chemistry and engineering could be performed in many industries. My primary objective is to focus on chemical processes and sustainable energy. Chemicals and energy play a huge part in advancing technology as the world develops. Decarbonizing and discovering new green energy sources is urgent to protect the environment. I want to share my experience in exploring my career orientation. I have participated in various projects, including academic and competitive ones, which have helped me gain more knowledge about chemical and technical skills. Recently, I was part of the RevolutionUC project, where my team and I developed a website that uses an AI-trained model to analyze patient's skin concerns and provide recommendations and treatments to partnered dermatologists. We used a custom AI-trained model to filter reliable knowledge and increase efficiency. Although this project is only a result of our ideas and has yet to be in its actual network or development, we hope it can be transformed into a project that can help many people. All my volunteering and project experiences have helped me develop logical thinking and shape my identity.When I am not working, I love to travel or learn new languages. I am fascinated by new cultures and believe traveling and communication are the best ways to approach and discover them. I have traveled to many Asian countries and a few in Europe; my most recommended country is Thailand. Their traditions are incredible, and their food is absolutely amazing. I have been to Thailand around three or four times and plan to explore more in the future. Currently, I am learning the Thai language to delve into the hidden gems where local people may not speak English. I hope it will be the most valuable experience ever when I travel to this country again.Why travel and learn new languages? From my perspective, it is fascinating to observe how different cultures are built and how they shape people’s thinking. For example, the frequent disasters in Japan have influenced their food and architecture. By traveling, I can broaden my perspective and gain new skills, such as knowledge of food nutrition and living styles, which can contribute to better mental health. Learning languages has also helped me to immerse myself in local people’s lives, which I find very interesting.
