🎓 I celebrated my Ph.D. graduation at UW–Madison.
This spring, I had the honor of attending both the University of Wisconsin–Madison doctoral hooding ceremony and the College of Engineering and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering commencement, a milestone I will carry with me for a long time. 🎓
To my advisor, Prof. Sikai (Sky) Chen, the faculty and staff at UW–Madison, every member of Sky-Lab, and every friend who has been part of this journey: thank you. It has been a privilege to learn, struggle, and grow alongside all of you. I am incredibly proud of what we built together and deeply excited for what comes next.
Here’s to the next chapter. 💗
