Hi Everyone,
My name is Tak Sing, I am currently a 5th year Ph.D. student in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at UCLA.
I received my early education in Hong Kong SAR and finished my undergraduate degree in Department of Automation and Computer-Aided Engineering in the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
My current research interests are related to MEMS/nanofabrication technologies, interfacial phenomena at the micro/nanoscale, self-assembly systems, and pattern formation.
I am looking forward to meeting you in the summer school.
=============================================================
1. What topics do you have some expertise in and would you be willing to help others learn them?
My expertise is in the area of molecular mechanics and self-assembly systems. I believe my background will be useful for those people who are interested in the force fields required to synthesis self-assembling natural/artificial structures in the micro/nano/molecular scales.
2. What do you want to learn at the CSSS?
I want to learn the state-of-the-art research in different discipline of complex systems, as well as learning the fundamental aspects in analyzing these systems.
3. Do you have any projects or research interests that would benefit
from an interdisciplinary approach?
Will update this later.
4. Do you have any ideas for what sort of project you would like to do
work on with other CSSS students this summer?
Will update this later.
5. Suppose you could travel one-hundred years in the future and ask
researchers any three questions. What would those questions be?
1) How the simple combinations of 4-nucleotide-bases (i.e. A, T, G, C) in DNA can synthesis life?
2) How intelligent emerged from the interconnections of neuron cells?
3) What will be our ultimate capability if we can fully utilize the functions in our brain?
