"For me, philosophy was both an unexpected and inevitable choice. I studied Computer Science as an undergraduate, History of Science for my master's degree, and Philosophy of Science for my doctorate. My intention was to gain a more comprehensive and profound understanding of science from an STS perspective-that was why I switched disciplines. Ultimately, however, philosophy became my profession. This was entirely because I was deeply fascinated by the works of Thomas Kuhn, Imre Lakatos, and others,"
"There are two things I've written that I love most: one is a collection of poems I wrote in middle school, and the other is an academic paper published in the journal Systems in 2023. Although these two seem completely unrelated, they represent two different aspects of me at different stages of my life-the emotional and the rational. Writing poetry requires inspiration, a sensitivity to life's subtle details, and rich emotions."
