“The working atmosphere here has helped me a lot during these years. We can learn a lot of fields in many topic courses, and many faculty members are willing to help the students, no matter whether they are working in the same direction or not. For example, before I came to Penn State, I knew very little about statistics. But when I came here, I always had chances to talk with faculty members working on various areas. They are always willing to share with me their understanding as well as some interesting stories in their research, which helps me build the big picture of many fields in statistics. I think the atmosphere here is what I love most.”
