有些人喜欢用一个关键词定义自己。Some people like to define themselves with a single keyword.

我一直没有找到。I have never quite found mine.

因为我的生活很难被归入某个单一标签。My life does not fit comfortably into one label.

在科研里，我寻找来自宇宙深处的微弱信号；
在旅途中，我收集陌生城市留下的坐标与记忆；
在运动场上，我依靠地图、速度和判断不断修正自己的方向。In research, I look for faint signals from deep space;
while traveling, I collect coordinates and memories left by unfamiliar cities;
in sports, I use maps, speed, and judgment to keep correcting my direction.

后来我发现，这些事情其实是同一件事。Later I realized that these things are, in some sense, the same thing.

我始终在探索未知。I am always exploring the unknown.

场域Research

我的研究跨越仪器、观测与理论。My research spans instrumentation, observation, and theory.

不是因为兴趣分散，而是因为许多真正有趣的问题，本来就不属于任何单一学科。Not because my interests are scattered, but because many genuinely interesting questions do not belong to a single discipline.

引力波记录时空的震动，射电望远镜接收恒星残骸的低语，中微子和宇宙线像穿越亿万年的匿名来信。Gravitational waves record the trembling of spacetime, radio telescopes receive the whispers of stellar remnants, and neutrinos and cosmic rays feel like anonymous letters crossing billions of years.

相比于“看见宇宙”，我更着迷于“监听宇宙”。Rather than simply seeing the universe, I am more fascinated by listening to it.

我正在做许多看似跨度很大的工作：从稻城射电望远镜（DART）的巡天数据中构建源表，为未来的瞬变源研究建立基础；研究快速射电暴（FRB）与持续射电源（PRS）的形成机制；统计 FRB 事件率与宿主星系恒星形成历史之间的联系；利用 SPHEREx 研究亚稳态氦；通过 WHAM 和 JWST 追踪银河系高速云与气体循环；在 FAST 数据中寻找新的脉冲星；以及尝试将被动雷达应用于空间态势感知。I am working on several projects that may seem far apart: building source catalogs from DART survey data for future transient searches; studying the formation mechanisms of fast radio bursts (FRBs) and persistent radio sources (PRSs); examining the relation between FRB event rates and host-galaxy star formation histories; using SPHEREx to study metastable helium; tracing Galactic high-velocity clouds and gas circulation with WHAM and JWST; searching for new pulsars in FAST data; and exploring passive radar for space situational awareness.

这些课题看起来彼此遥远。These topics may look distant from one another.

但它们都指向同一个目标：But they point toward the same goal:

从噪声中识别信号，从现象中追问来源。to identify signals in noise, and to ask where phenomena come from.

留白Life

科研之外，我喜欢旅行。Outside research, I like traveling.

不是为了完成一张打卡清单。Not to complete a checklist.

而是为了建立自己的坐标系。But to build my own coordinate system.

我喜欢记录国家、省份和城市，也喜欢记住凌晨机场的广播声、陌生便利店里的热食、偶遇的人和那些无法提前规划的故事。旅行页本身被设计成一张不断扩展的地图，而不是一本完成的相册。I like recording countries, provinces, and cities; I also like remembering airport announcements before dawn, hot food in unfamiliar convenience stores, chance conversations, and stories that could never have been planned. The travel page is designed as an expanding map rather than a completed album.

如果未来把旅行地图真正完成，我希望它像一张记忆星图。If I eventually finish the travel map, I hope it feels like a star map of memories.

每一个地点都不仅代表抵达。Each point should mean more than arrival.

还保存着某段经历、某种情绪，以及某个阶段的自己。It should preserve an experience, an emotion, and a version of myself from that time.

律动Motion

我认真对待运动。I take sports seriously.

因为身体是一套不会说谎的数据系统。Because the body is a data system that does not lie.

定向越野是我最喜欢的运动之一。Orienteering is one of my favorite sports.

地图、路线选择、空间判断、速度控制，它要求人在有限信息下不断决策。某种意义上，它和科研非常相似。Maps, route choice, spatial judgment, and speed control force you to make decisions with limited information. In a way, it is very similar to research.

我也喜欢田径。I also enjoy track and field.

短跑训练爆发力，跳远训练节奏感，长跑训练耐心。Sprinting trains explosiveness, long jump trains rhythm, and distance running trains patience.

PB、总里程、配速、恢复时间，这些数字记录的不只是成绩，也记录着时间。PBs, total mileage, pace, and recovery time record not only performance, but also time itself.

篮球、足球、羽毛球、网球、台球、自行车、赛车、高尔夫……相比观看，我更喜欢亲自参与。Basketball, football, badminton, tennis, billiards, cycling, racing, golf... I would rather participate than only watch.

因为理解一个系统最好的方式之一，就是进入它。Because one of the best ways to understand a system is to enter it.

交织Interwoven

我还喜欢一些看起来有些离题的问题。I am also drawn to questions that may seem a little off-topic.

比如寻找地外文明。For example, the search for extraterrestrial civilizations.

比如文明如何在宇宙尺度上合作、竞争、扩张与沉默。Or how civilizations might cooperate, compete, expand, and remain silent on cosmic scales.

这些问题常常被认为属于科幻。These questions are often treated as science fiction.

但很多重要的科学问题，在最初也只是一些看起来过于遥远的想象。But many important scientific questions began as ideas that once seemed far too remote.

我始终相信：好奇心不应该被边界定义。I believe curiosity should not be defined by boundaries.

如果一定要用一句话介绍自己：If I had to introduce myself in one sentence:

我在不同尺度上寻找信号。I search for signals across different scales.

从银河深处的一次射电脉冲，到近地轨道上的空间碎片；
从恒星死亡留下的回声，到文明留下的痕迹；
从地图上的未知检查点，到人生中的下一段旅程。From a radio pulse deep in the Galaxy to space debris in near-Earth orbit;
from the echoes left by stellar death to traces left by civilizations;
from an unknown checkpoint on a map to the next journey in life.

我对宇宙感兴趣。I am interested in the universe.

也对宇宙里的我们感兴趣。And I am interested in us within it.
