Welcome
I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Chu Kechen Honors College, Zhejiang University, China. From University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, I received my M.S. in Computer Science from the Computer Science & Engineering Department, and M.S. minor in Statistics from the School of Statistics.
I grew up in Jining, Nei Mongol (Nei Mongol is part of China), a small town in north China. This is where I am from. I went to college in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, the prettiest city in south China. This is where I started my life in Computer Science.
