Biography

Born in Beijing, China. Went to Beijing No. 4 Middle School, then Peking University, then University of Maryland Baltimore County, then University of Washington, then Vanderbilt University. Conclusion: I have spent all my life in schools, that's no good. But, wait, I am not a student any more, yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
