Education
2021-2025 University of Edinburgh, Scotland
Studying Mathematical Physics
2015-2021 St Paul’s Co-educational College, Hong Kong
Studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology, M2
2009-2015 S.K.H St Peter’s Primary School, Hong Kong
Interests:
Quantum Physics
As a Mathematical Physics Major, I study physics with mathematical rigor. Currently, my favourite topic is Quantum Mechanics, in particular, derivations revolved around the Schrödinger Equation, which is quite difficult sometimes. If you are interested in the basics of this field, you can read THIS BOOK
Meteorology
Aside from Physics and Mathematics, I am an aspiring meteorologist, specializing in tropical cyclones formation and its history. I started chasing typhoons when I was in P3, and read almost all Hong Kong Observatory’s annual publications! My favourite topic is the rapid intensitication of tropical cyclones, which sometimes lead to a phenonmenon called Hot Tower. It was observed in Typhoon Vicente, as frequent lightnings were recorded in its walls. Hato (2017), Higos(2020) are also examples of Rapid Intensification, and its occurance poses a real concern to weather forecast systems.
Classical Music
I play both Piano and Violin, and I am officially a Mahlerian, while also listening extensively to Brahms, Beethoven, Bruckner, Tchaikovsky, and even more obscure composers like Korngold, Hummel, etc. My favourite pieces are: Mahler Symphony No.7. Tchaikovksy: Romeo and Juliet, etc. More in: [Henry’s Classical Playlist]. I also listen to basically all recordings of everything from the 1940s, with Kirill Kondrashin as my favourite conductor
Running
I used to run in SPCC Cross Country Team, specilizing in 5000m and 10000m while also, occasionally, running 400m and 1500m. I am definitely not a good runner as I don’t really practice strategically. However, it sure is a good way to relax and doing sports is scientifically proven to increase study efficiency (and obviously, ensures good health)
Chess
Chess is something I picked up a year ago. I suck at all formats so the only thing I really do is analyse positions and chess puzzles and learn openings. I am about to create a very extensive section on this. Hope you’ll enjoy!
Conclusion
I really hope you will enjoy this website. If you want my CV (Curriculum Vitae) feel free to email [email protected]
