I was born and raised in Changsha, a lovely and peaceful city located in central south part of China. After 18 happy years in my hometown, I went to a college in Beijing in 2003 and received my Bachelor degree from Beihang University (BUAA) in 2007. In the same year, I received a graduate fellowship from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville and came to the States to pursue my master degree. After I finished my master study in 2008, I was enrolled in Ph.D program in Kent State University. Currently, I am a Ph.D candidate at Department of Finance, Kent State University.

My research interests include investment, international finance, behavioral finance and derivatives.
