Chuan is a 2nd year graduate student in the Ultrafast Optics lab.  He holds B.S (University of Science and Technology, China) and M.S. (University of Pittsburgh) degrees in physics and is now pursuing a Ph.D. in electrical engineering.  While the pursuit of a doctorate requires nearly a full devotion of time and energy, Chuan still finds ways to remain active as a member (and former president) of the Chinese Friendship Association at Penn State.  When he needs to take a break from school, commitments, life, Chuan enjoys hiking, playing badminton, swimming, or sitting down to a nice feature film.
