TIME IS OUT OF THE ESSENCE
OUR HISTORY
ON THE ROAD TO SCIENCE
Music was my first love, a passionate affair that ignited my soul that brought me to school to play piano. The rhythm, the melody, the raw emotion—it all resonated with me on a profound level. I spent countless hours lost in the world of sound studying, practicing, experimenting, and composing my own tunes.
As I delved deeper into the intricacies of music theory, I began to question the underlying principles. How did sound travel? Why did certain notes harmonize in definite way? Curiosity took hold, and I found myself drawn to the scientific explanations behind the magic of music.
The more I explored, the more I realized that music and science were intertwined. My analytical skills and mathematical precision, the physics of sound waves, the neurological basis of musical perception—it all fascinated me. I was captivated by the scientific principles to create and captivate music by our brian function and cognitive processes. I learned that it engages multiple brain regions, stimulating both emotional and cognitive responses.
This newfound passion led me to pursue a career in science, specifically in the field of neurology and neurooncology. In the lab, I found a new kind of harmony. The precision of experiments, the methodical approach to problem-solving, and the thrill of discovery mirrored the structure and creativity of music. Each experiment was a new composition, each data point a note in the symphony of knowledge.
Today, my journey continues at the intersection of music and science, exploring the fascinating world and harmony of quantum physics and advanced materials. I'm exploring the potentials of plasmonic technology, bionanotechnology, and acoustic adaptive technology.
My passion for music led me to science, and science has enriched my understanding and appreciation of music. It's a beautiful synergy, a testament to the interconnectedness of all things.
