About me
I am a scientist with Chemical Engineering background and a PhD on Engineering Science.
![outlink](data/files/ext.gif)
Last few years I was a researcher in Shinshu University

- Skiing.
- Learning how to make and use small machines.
- Wikipedia
topics editor (check my contributions
)
- Volcano climber
- Book reading
