Hi! I’m Jan, a PhD student at Harvard Medical School (SHBT), where I study the bioacoustics of the ear and vocal tract. Outside of lab, I’m usually either yapping with literally anyone, running along the Charles River, playing piano, or hanging out with my church. In this blog, I hope to share about my life as a PhD student, reflecting on my career development, tackling questions on the compatibility of science and faith, and sharing sunset photos. The photo on this page was taken in September 2025! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, please drop any questions or comments any time!
