Guantanamo Bay?!
Or the infamous San Quentin Prison?

Nope. Not that exciting, unfortunately. This is taken in a dorm room at the Ohio State University with a disposable camera.
I was there for the SPACE workshop (Spatial Perspectives on Analysis for Curriculum Enhancement). Spatial statistics, spatial analysis, GIS (Geographical Information Science) and political geography are my research passion.
It was in this room where I came up with an idea of organizing an inter-disciplinary seminar on spatial thinking in social sciences. The idea was materialized into the "Social Science In Place Seminar" (SSIP), sponsored by the Survey Research Center. I believe good social sciences come from vigorous research designs and statistical techniques. GIS and spatial statistics can complement conventional methods in improving empirical inquiries.

I am pursuing a PhD in Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley.
I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. My first job after college was to work as an advocate at the Asian Task Force Against Domestic Violence in Boston. I assisted women and children who are survivors of domestic violence. A challenging job which opened my eyes to all kinds of inequalities and injustice in the society. I then spent two years working on a longitudinal study about children of immigrants (the Harvard Immigrant Project) at the Harvard School of Education before returning to school for political science.
