Brief Biographical Sketch:

Hi! I’m Minghao — an avid physicist, amateur astronomer, and explorer of the universe. I love uncovering the world’s secrets through logic and science, while using poetry to capture the beauty that reason alone can’t reach. My passion lies in understanding how the universe works — from the quantum to the cosmic. As a Californian, I find peace in nature, lying under the Milky Way’s glow, and joy in singing, playing badminton, and solving escape rooms.

S16399: Exploring the Weirdness of Light in Splash Fall 2025 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2025)
Light bends, twists, interferes, and vanishes. It acts like a wave, yet arrives as a particle; it shapes the way we see the universe, yet travels through nothing at all. In this class, we’ll explore light from different perspectives—particle, wave, and field—through rigorous physics and vivid demonstrations that reveal just how strange and beautiful it truly is.
