Current Experiments and Next Steps —
Mycelium is a versatile and sustainable marvel in various fields. It can not only break down pollutants and contaminants, but also offer a nutritious source of food, rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Beyond that, mycelium has found utility in construction as a sustainable alternative to traditional materials, providing eco-friendly building, clothing, and even computing. I would love to dig more into mushrooms and do creative art with it in the future.

• Midi-biosonification with electrodes
• “the seemingly sentient, mycorrhizal ambient music” of Matthewdavid
• "Role of Fungi in Bioremediation of Emerging Pollutants"
I am a sound designer, artist, and avid ant enthusiast. I have done a sound installation series called Anthesizer, that blends art, science, and engineering. Inspired by the striking similarities between ants and humans, it explores their world through a unique lens that fuses his scientific inquiry with artistic expression.

“One of my favorite animals is the Emperor penguin, endemic to Antarctica. I always wanted to be one of the researchers and scientists who developed sustainable, alternative energy, but here I am making sound art at CalArts. Perhaps mushrooms can save not only LA but the whole world from climate change.” - BL
