About
i am a 25 year old graduate student at ucla. i hate to admit it, but that explains a lot more than it should. i'm working on a ph.d in mechanical engineering and i study the computational mechanics of viral capsids. i like to think i'll be saving the world. like all this coding will be worth it someday.
other than that my interests are fairly standard twenty-something interests. i like going to shows a lot and i wish i knew more people in l.a. that actually played music so i could spend some time actually making music again. read the first paragraph again and you will understand why i find it hard to meet people that might fill this need. the two seem to be mutually exclusive.
music is always first
