I was a PhD student at DAMTP, University of Cambridge, where I studied granular mechanics, and the applicability of boundary layer theory to granular flows. Ask me more! I'm an alumnx of Queens' College, Cambridge.

In daily life I use the pronoun they. I use she in some communities, and he in very limited contexts.

I'm particularly interested in mathematics, especially fluid dynamics and granular mechanics. I'm also interested in Chinese history and Chinese culture, as well as East Asian culture more generally.

I support the Plain English Campaign. Plain English is a writing style which aims for 'clarity, brevity, and the avoidance of technical language'. Among other things, Plain English prefers simple sentence structures, avoids using the passive voice, and avoids inappropriate jargon, formal language (especially euphemisms – see WP:CENSOR), and clichés. I often edit articles to rephrase paragraphs which are unclear, or remove words which don't contribute any meaning. Please let me know if such an edit inappropriately changes a sentence's meaning.

I am not, and have never been, a paid editor. However, I do often contribute towards articles whose subjects with whom I may have external affiliations.
