A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Discovering and documenting my passion for materials science.

I'm a high school student passionate about materials science and its applications in everyday life. I love learning about the basics of this interdisciplinary field in high school chemistry, physics, and math classes while exploring it on my own through things like this blog.

Since my early years, I've been fascinated by the properties and behaviors of different materials. The most basic of questions I started with was, "Why does a ceramic bowl shatter when dropped, but a metal one doesn't?" These seemingly simple questions were what led me to discover my interest for materials science. Since then, I've been learning about the fascinating world of materials science and writing it all down through the process.

01 / WHY I MADE IT

Why this notebook exists.

As with any field in STEM, documentation is incredibly important for sharing knowledge and advancing understanding. I created this blog to record and share my journey in materials science, and I hope that this blog might also inspire others to explore the fascinating world of materials.

02 / WHAT YOU’LL FIND

A mix of ideas and experiments.

  • Blog posts and explainers
  • Lab guides and how-tos
  • Materials in everyday life
03 / HOW I WRITE

Clear, curious, and informed.

I aim to create accessible content that explains complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand. I read and compile information from various credible sources and strive to present it in an engaging and informative manner.
