I was deeply immersed in Go in my childhood, where each move was a thoughtful decision among numerous possibilities. Not only did this cultivate my logical thinking, but it also honed my decision-making skills. This ability to analyze complex situations evolved into my study method—mind mapping. As the first generation of college, autonomous learning and logical reasoning have become the cornerstones of my academic achievements. When exploring new knowledge, I use existing knowledge as a bridge to build a hierarchical and systematic structure of understanding. I enjoy organizing knowledge in a structured way, layer by layer, allowing a comprehensive and in-depth approach to complex problems. My passion for detective novels, especially those by Agatha Christie, excites me as I construct the narrative from minute details and uncover the truth. This skill is equally important in scientific research, where I can pinpoint the crux of a problem from various subtle signs.

This way of thinking not only has strengthened my personal comprehension but also has improved my teaching abilities, enabling me to translate abstract theoretical knowledge into concepts digestible for students. In my spare time, I guide university students online, clarifying subjects and resolving their doubts through video conferences. I encourage students to grasp core concepts using this logical framework, drawing parallels with easily understandable everyday phenomena to help them grasp complex theoretical knowledge. While most courses cover familiar territory, occasionally I encounter new challenges. For instance, I once had to explain Molecular Spectroscopy, a subject involving intricate analysis of electron energy levels, to a Chinese student studying in the UK. I dedicated nearly a week to self-study this field and mastered it. In just six lessons, I not only helped the student understand the complex theory but, but(Detects missing comma before "but") also significantly boosted their exam performance. These experiences showcase my problem-solving and self-learning abilities, reflecting my passion for and commitment to knowledge dissemination—qualities I look forward to continuing to develop and contribute to Duke's academic community.

My leadership and teamwork skills have been showcased and honed on various occasions. As the leader of a university innovation project, I meticulously organized and steered regular meetings to ensure effective communication and smooth project progression. I allocated tasks based on each team member's strengths and interests, ensuring maximum engagement and productivity. During an animation competition, I collaborated with students from the art school to create an educational video on surface tension, where I accurately conveyed chemical concepts and ensured technical details were clearly communicated. In my two years participating in the student council, I planned and hosted numerous events. The most memorable was the annual Chemistry Knowledge Competition, which engaged all freshmen in a challenging and educational event. As the organizer, I was responsible for crafting the questions, promoting the event, designing the competition flow, selecting the content, and coordinating the activities. These experiences not only prove my leadership and collaborative skills but also show how I apply these skills in practical scenarios to foster knowledge exchange and invigorate the academic atmosphere. I believe these experiences and skills will find their value and stage at Duke's academic community.

I have a keen interest in exploring and experiencing diverse activities. IFurthermore, I(Successive sentences beginning with the same word) enjoy painting, baking, and I engage in various sports, with badminton and swimming being my favorites. On weekends and holidays, I go camping and hiking with friends. I once embarked on a ten-day road trip from the southern to the northern part of China with friends, marveling at snow-capped mountains and China's largest saltwater lake, ending with a sunset and stargazing in the desolation of the Gobi desertGobi Desert(Checks upper/lower case spelling of some proper nouns). My research journey has also been multifaceted and continually evolving. I relish stepping out of my comfort zone to explore new domains. Initially uncertain about my research interests, I dabbled in fields from organic synthesis and analytical research to rotations in supramolecularsupra molecular(misspelling) chemistry labs, which vastly broadened my scientific perspective. However, upon discovering my profound interest in cheminformaticschem informatics(misspelling), I dove headlong into this field. To delve further into informatics and accumulate valuable research experience, I opted for a gap year, during which I undertook three distinct informatics research projects to practice and deepen my understanding. This quest for exploration led me to my favored research direction, and I am confident that my persistence and passion will lead to accomplishments in this area.
