My upbringing has completely supported my development and I am thankful for it. I am a PhD student of Wireless Communication at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Why Shanghai: Shanghai is the one of the earliest cities opening toward other countries in China, so it has the potential cross-cultural gene to accept others. Shanghai is a tourist destination famous for historical landmarks as well as modern, ever-expanding skylines.

Why SJTU: Multiple centers of excellence in the Honors Program, very reasonable cost. Very good outreach to the community through a network of community colleges that teach practical and employable skills at a reasonable cost. And Good research opportunities on campus.
