Beyond Research

I grew up in Kunming (昆明), the “Spring City” of Yunnan (云南), next to the former campus of National Southwest Associated University (西南联大). My family’s roots are in Heijing (黑井), an old salt town in central Yunnan. I studied by the sea in Dalian and in Beijing before moving to the United States, where my own family has grown.
