 <Intro />
 
-### Research
+## Academic life
 
-I'm learning about [cubical type theory][cubical]!
-I'll probably write some blog posts as I learn more.
-
-For my master's thesis project, I'm investigating a mechanization of [spectral sequences] in [Cubical] [Agda].
-So far, I've been primarily working through the [homotopy type theory book][HoTTBook].
+I'm currently doing a thesis project for my master's program, involving the mechanization of [spectral sequences] using [cubical] [Agda].
+See some of my blog posts to follow along with my research!

+### Research projects
+
+- [**cubeviz**](https://mzhang.io/cubeviz/). A visualizer for cubical type theory that can assist with constructing `hcomp`s.
+- [**type theory repo**](https://git.mzhang.io/michael/type-theory). The main repository for my Agda code for my research project.
