Biography: I was born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam for 14 years. I got my B.S in Chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin (class of 2020). My research focuses on the expansion of genetic code by exploring and implementing new chemistry, tunable orthogonal reversible covalent (TORC), into DNA. My hobby includes going to the gym (even though I don’t look like it), watching anime and sitcoms, and foods.
