Lexin Zhou

I grew up mainly between two wonderful cities: Elche, known for its UNESCO-recognised palm groves 🌴, and Valencia, characterised by its cosmopolitan atmosphere in tandem with yummy paellas 🥘, serene beaches 🏖️ and nearby hiking trails in the mountains ⛰️.

I speak four languages 📑, generally fluent in English, Spanish and Chinese, and know the basics of Valencian (a close relative to Catalan). Outside the realm of science, I spend my time enjoying muscle training 💪, snowboarding 🏂, tennis 🎾, hiking 🧗, piano 🎹, traveling 🌍, and reading 📚.
