I grew up in Hangzhou, China, but as a teenager, I wanted to see the world. So, I flew to the UK alone for school and eventually earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Cambridge, spending nearly a decade there. Along the way, I traveled across Europe, interned at top companies, worked in a hospital, and co-founded two startups. After ten years of adventure in the UK and Europe, I decided it was time for a new chapter—so here I am in the United States, diving into engineering at Stanford.
