A Bit About Me
Lang, as an avid explorer of physical science and storytelling, enjoys reading cutting-edge research in Nature, APJS, and the Annual Review. Her primary passion is experimenting with various scientific inquiries and undertaking independent research. Lang's journey mirrors the tales that constellations tell. Ever since her early years, the mysteries of the cosmos enthralled her; she recalls nights spent stargazing with her father, their heads tilted upwards, lost in tales of constellations and distant galaxies. It was during these nights that Lang realized the cosmos itself was a grand storyteller. Each starlight beam, having journeyed billions of years, held a tale of time, persistence and curiosity. Looking forward, Lang envisions pursuing a path in high-energy astrophysics. The university chapter beckons her to delve deeper into the cosmos, unraveling the unknown and contributing to the ever-evolving tapestry of human knowledge. By persisting in research and storytelling, Lang hopes to share her narrative and encourage other people interested in this field.
