Ethan Chung.
I’m a student interested in practical tools, clear explanations, and the choices people make in everyday life.
Dorm-room packing, shared laundry, and nutrition research all raise questions I want to explore: What is the actual problem? Which assumptions matter? How would we know whether an idea helps?
I’m especially interested in making complicated ideas easier to understand—from the space needed to open a suitcase to the strength of a study’s claims—and turning those questions into something people can explore.

This site brings together team projects, mentor-assisted prototypes, and early concepts. The research and experiments section contains models and local benchmarks; early concepts remain separate from implemented work. Development has involved substantial mentor and AI assistance, with my documented contributions and each project’s stage described in the project notes.
