![[Pasted image 20250325233757.png | center]] > From [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_(surname)#:~:text=As%20with%20many%20Chinese%20surnames,tradition%20since%20the%2018th%20century.) I’m a physicist with a passion for exploring the intersection of science, technology, and innovation. I currently work at the University of Texas at Austin, where my research focuses on **laser wakefield acceleration** and its applications in industry and health sciences. My expertise spans **high-energy physics**, **mathematical modeling**, and **detector design**, but what truly drives me is the opportunity to solve real-world problems through a multidisciplinary lens. Beyond the lab, I’m a curious tinkerer who loves designing electronics, writing code for fun, and diving into documentaries about science and history. I’m also a big fan of Studio Ghibli films, which inspire me with their creativity and depth. As a father of two, I cherish spending time outdoors with my kids, whether we’re exploring nature or simply enjoying the fresh air. What makes me unique is my ability to approach challenges from multiple perspectives, drawing on my broad expertise in **high-energy physics**, **semiconductor physics**, and **electrical engineering**. I thrive in collaborative, interdisciplinary environments, where I can work with others to develop innovative solutions. I’m deeply motivated by the idea that my work can make a tangible difference in people’s lives—whether it’s through creating software to streamline my colleagues’ workflows or cracking a silly joke that makes my family laugh. I believe in the power of collaboration and open dialogue. I value constructive criticism and diverse opinions, and I strive to create an environment where everyone feels heard and respected. My personal philosophy leans toward value sharing, emphasizing the importance of contributing to society without always expecting something in return.
