A New Chapter - 2019

2019 will be the beginning of a new chapter in my life.

I will be joining USC School of Engineering’s faculty as a part-time lecture starting in the spring 2019 semester. I have to say it is an absolute privilege to serve one of the most renowned research university in the world and USC happens to be my alma mater. 

Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree

Both of my parents are university professors in mathematics and languages. Growing up, I watched my father and mother grading paper, lecturing in the classroom and took their personal time to instruct students that are fallen behind at our home. I remembered those moments and left an indelible impression on me for many years.

Serving academia was never my plan but it was always on the back of my mind. For those that know me, I am all about building communities. From the team I’ve built at MaxDecisions, Kuber and Alchemy to hosting our monthly Orange Count FinTech Meetups (https://www.meetup.com/Orange-County-FinTech-Meetup/) and many charity events, I want to build a community where people can help each other and learn from each other. 

I am pushing that vision further.

STEM Spells - Science Technology Engineering Mathematics

STEM education is one of the foundations of our nation’s future. I encourage my friends to think about how they can bring STEM into our daily vernacular and foster discussions with your peers and especially our young people.

If you are passionate about making America great again, then we should do all that you can to talk about STEM subjects. Encourage young minds to ponder the most difficult issues at hand and discover solutions to cure our environment, eliminate hunger, conserve resource and make renewable energy a reality. 

We are walking amongst the next Newton, Einstein or the next Jobs or Musk. The next generation of scientist, engineers may be one encouragement, one class, away from greatness. 

2019+

I look forward to talking about in Statistics, Analytics and Entrepreneurship in the coming semester. #FightOn
