Personal

After receiving my PhD from Yale University in 2022 and teaching at Carnegie Mellon University for one year, I enlisted in the United States Navy and earned my citizenship in boot camp in 2023. Boot camp was an eye-opening and memorable experience in my life: I met recruits/sailors from all walks of life.

I am currently a Navy reservist as a logistics specialist. I am very new to the Navy, but I am very looking forward to learning more about the Navy.

I love swimming and running after teaching. They are a blessing to recharge myself.

Attended Harvard-Yale graduate students conference on March 1, 2019, at Harvard Faculty Club in Cambridge, MA. It was the only conference that I attended as a Yale student. Years later, many of the student participants became professors in major research institutions in the United States or Asia. I am on the very right of the second row.

It was a very proud moment in my life.
