I like hiking. When I lived in Shanghai, I joined this hiking group that would go away every weekend and climb mountains. One weekend we went out and slept on a beach on an island. I actually slept on the beach, because the Chinese tent was too small, and I couldn\u2019t fit in it. It\u2019s been two years since I moved to the Midwest, and I\u2019ve pretty much hit most of the forest preserves around Fermilab. I never thought I\u2019d picture myself in the Midwest \u2013 it\u2019s very flat out here, and I\u2019m used to mountains, but it\u2019s been interesting. When working on the DUNE project first came up, I thought it would be a really good challenge. The construction of the project is quite complicated \u2013 the detector will be a mile underground. I\u2019ve been working with the collaborations and the consortia to help them develop their fabrication plans, their inspection plans, and their test plans for ProtoDUNE. We went to the different labs where they\u2019re doing the fabrication and did a production readiness review. Seeing it all come together, and then going to CERN and seeing things actually go into the prototype detector and how well it has been operating – that\u2019s probably one of the most exciting things that\u2019s happened in the two years I\u2019ve been here.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n
