Feeling Grateful on My Birthday – Thank You, BEST Lab!
Today, as my amazing graduate students in the BEST Lab celebrate my birthday, I am reminded just how lucky I am to be surrounded by such thoughtful, inspiring, and kind-hearted people.
To my students: Thank you for creating such a warm and joyful celebration—I’m truly touched by your kindness and care. Your creativity, especially in making decorations using research coin cells to create battery trees and flowers, is genuinely delightful and deeply appreciated. Being your mentor is not just a privilege, it's genuinely one of the greatest joys of my career. Each of you brings energy, curiosity, and compassion into our lab every day, making this journey together deeply rewarding.
I'm immensely proud to work with such dedicated and brilliant individuals, and I look forward to seeing you continue to achieve great things.
Here's to another wonderful year together—filled with exciting discoveries, shared achievements, and countless memorable moments.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

We wrapped up the year with an unforgettable lab trip! Alumni joined us for games, Secret Santa, and a mouthwatering BBQ feast. The night lit up with karaoke and laughter, turning into a cozy sleepover.
The next day, we welcomed 2025 by picking fresh tangerines under the winter sun—simple, sweet, and full of joy. Here’s to more great memories and breakthroughs in the year ahead. Happy 2025! 🎉🍊
Our lab hosted a well-deserved gathering to celebrate the end of mid-terms! After weeks of studying and hard work, we took some time to unwind, share project updates, and enjoy good food together. The event was filled with laughter, team games, and inspiring conversations that reminded us of the supportive spirit we share. It was a great way to recharge and reconnect as we look forward to the next phase of the semester with renewed energy and motivation!
