About me
My name is Sun. I am a Cambodian American fanfiction and science writer based in the United States.On the creative side, I have been writing fanfiction for ten years. I fell in love with storytelling after enrolling in a creative writing course in college. Although my work mainly focuses on fanfiction, I plan to remaster one of my fanworks into an original story.Outside of fanfiction, I am a researcher with aspirations of pursuing a PhD. I have written scientific papers in the fields of genetics, embryology, ecology, and music cognition. My current research is on the potential of using music to promote welfare in captive animals, particularly in non-human primates.
My Research
My main interest is in biological and psychological musicology. In other words, I study the physiological and psychological effects of music.In a recent meta-analysis, I explored the following question: how does music therapy affect the well-being of captive animals? My results have shown that most animal species find enrichment in music, except for non-human primates. This was a surprising outcome because humans do benefit from music therapy, and we share a common ancestor with non-human primates.Currently, I am continuing this research. My hope is to find a possible explanation as to why humans and most non-primate animals find music enriching while our closest relatives do not.

Quotes from my work
"I never knew how much I valued this life until I found myself on the brink of losing it."
- The Puppet Master's Spell, chapter 9"The Wanderer was immortal; he was never supposed to die. But that night, he did."
- Fading Light"If I had to choose between you and my Vision, I would choose you."
- He Who Echoes the Deer's Cry"He was the enemy, but Kazuha looked at him like he was the reason stars existed in the sky."
- Promise"Heizou was both the air that he breathed and the water that drowned him. The soil of his forest, yet the flame that destroyed his roots. He was the stars in the sky, which was also the sun that burned mercilessly in a deadly heat."
- When Icarus Flew Too Close to the Sun, chapter 5
