I'm a university professor in the U.S. with a deep love for teaching, research, and connecting with people across cultures. I'm drawn to thoughtful conversation, world travel, and discussions that go beneath the surface. My work demands real rigor, and I think that's exactly why I've never stopped loving to learn and to generate new ideas. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me outdoors — camping, hiking, or kayaking on a river. I also enjoy discovering new restaurants; I'm a vegetarian, so I'm always on the hunt for inventive plant-based dishes. Above all, I'm looking for a life partner: someone who values deep thinking, shares a sense of adventure, and wants to build a future together grounded in mutual respect and genuine curiosity about the world.
