I was born in Quanzhou, a historical and cultural city located in the southeast of China, which used to be the largest harbor in East Asia and a terminus of the Maritime Silk Road.

After finishing high school, I flied to Beijing for my college study in Tsinghua, due to its world-fame and best engineering school in China. Those four years at Tsinghua were amazing!

Now I'm enjoying CMU's interdiscipline research and easy living in Pittsburgh, though dying busy from time to time :-)
