My favorite molecule is DNA, with the most beautiful structures and amazing functionalities. If I had one year of paid leave I would like to serve as a volunteer teacher to educate poor children. If I could be a piece of lab equipment, I would be a beaker. The most important thing I learned from my students is that to err is human and in errors we learn. What I appreciate most about my friends is that we share the same feeling and ideas. Science is fun because unexpected things always happen. The most important future applications of my research are expected to be in catalysis, separation, and optical devices. If I could be any age, I would like to be 40. I admire people who thinking of others first rather than themselves. I advise my students to be happy in their work. My favorite way to spend a holiday is to stay in a quiet place in the countryside.
