Beyond the research work in my own field, I also have some hobbies such as drawing, radio and animal protection, which enriched my spare time.

Drawing

I love animal drawing due to the fantastic coexistance of wildness and cuteness. You can find some of my artworks at DeviantArt or WildDream Art.

Animal Protection

I strongly concern about ecological and environmental issues, especially animal protection. In fact, I am the 9th, 10th and 11th president of Animal Protection Association of Zhejiang University when I am in my undergraduade study minoring in Biological Science (Sept. 2013 - Mar. 2016). I revived the association from 5 remaining people to one of the most influential association in Zhejiang University with 5 departments, more than 40 staffs and more than 150 members, which was awarded Outstanding Student Association of ZJU in 2014.

The regular activity of our association contains:

  • Helping homeless animals in campus of Zhejiang University, including looking for adoption (with regular revisit), curing injured animals and TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) cooperated with Hangzhou government.
  • Regular volunteer activity to animal rescue station, helping to clean the yard & house, wash animals, etc.
  • Course “Introduction to Animal Protection: Theory and Practice” available for all students in ZJU.
  • Regular lectures in Zhejiang Natural Museum to convey the concept of wildlife conservation to public, especially for children.
  • Field practice for wildlife survey.

Guess which is me

I also interned at Wildlife Conservation Society China Program (Jul. 2015 - Sept. 2015). I am the website developer and maintainer of Zhejiang Small Animal Protection Association (Mar. 2013 - present).

Web development

Building a whole complex software alone from beginning to end might be the dream of every programmer. I am not the exception even if I do research work most of the time.
