Welcome to my homepage! I am a first-year law student (full-time) at Fordham University School of Law, which is located in the midtown of New York City. The campus is very close to Lincoln Center. I expect to get my Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in May 2011, and hopefully become a lawyer in this great city.
Prior to law school and the Big Apple, I was in graduate school for three years: first in the Economics Department of Washington University in St. Louis, where I got my Master's degree in Economics in May 2007. WashU was the first stop of my new life in the States, and I enjoyed it very, very much.
Then, from August 2007 to August 2008, I was a Ph.D. student at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University. My research area was Organizational Behavior, with a focus on behavioral economics and behavioral decision-making. Although I later decided to pursue a legal career in NYC , the year at CMU remains the most significant one in my life. I met some of the most incredible professors and fellow doctoral students there, and the friendship formed in Pittsburgh will last as long as my life goes. Moreover, I have retained an intense interest in behavioral science and wish to apply those insights to my studies in law.
Prior to coming to the States, I was an undergraduate economics major at Renmin University of China (colloquially and fondly known as "Renda"), in Beijing. As the saying goes, it was "the best four years" in my life, and I never doubted that. Being one of the best Chinese universities in humanities and social sciences, Renda is where this thrilling, trans-national intellectual journey all began.
As much as I love my schools as the main theme of my life-to-date, in the left panel I provide a link to each of these great institutions I have had the fortune to attend, and be educated.
