I am originally from Myanmar (Burma), and moved to California in 2022 for education and safety after a military coup back home. My research interests are still evolving but I am particularly drawn to the intersection of molecular virology and structural biology, with a focus on antivirals and therapeutics to combat infectious diseases. In the future, I hope to become a physician-scientist who bridges research, medicine, and community advocacy to help address health inequities. What brings me the most joy is sharing good food with good company! When alone, I love watching dramas and 2000s rom-coms. I love hosting and cooking so that’s what I usually do with friends to bring everyone together. If I weren’t in STEMM, I would be a chef/ pastry chef.
