Publication

Computer Science
Not at all!
Chemistry
(1) "Single-Handed Double Helix and Spiral Platelet Formed by Racemate of Dissymmetric Cages." X. Liu, Z. Shi, M. Xie, J. Xu, Z. Zhou, S. Jung, G. Cui, T. Li, Z. Liu*, S. Zhang*, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2021, 60, 15080–15086.

Why left chemistry and entered CS

(1) Concurrency and program analysis are intesting research topics to me.
(2) CS is more thinking-heavy, at least in the subfield that I have stepped in, but chem is more on experiments and I prefer thinking on my seat than working in the lab.
(3) A very practical reason: averagely a cs graduate can earn more than chem.
(4) CS is safer than chem, because in the worst case, you can crash your PC or server, but in chem, it's far more serious!

Beyond studying

(1) Dota2 player, 3500+ hours, but 1000 mmr.
(2) Big fan of MapleStory, WOW, Elden Ring and Monster Huntor World.
