Greetings.
I am from Hong Kong and is currently studying in Imperial College London. My Wikipedian membership began on 6th April 2005 (UTC). I can communicate in English and Chinese, but my first language is Cantonese.
I am majoring in computer science. I also have an interest in some subjects of science and humanities, especially astronomy and the interaction of the Chinese culture with that of the West. I am trying to improve my language abilities so that I can contribute to Wikipedia better. If you find any grammatical or spelling mistakes which I have made, especially the use of Chinglish, please feel free to make corrections and inform me about them. I shall thank you very much for your help.
I am a contributor to the distributed computing project Folding@home, which is managed by the Stanford University. It investigates the structure of proteins, which is crucial to the functioning of our bodies and the formation of many diseases. Hence the understanding of proteins greatly assists the development of cures. Here I am inviting you to join this meaningful project too. Lets take part in making a medical history!
Please feel free to share with me what you think about me and my contributions.
