Hi, Welcome to my page!!!
I am currently finishing my
Ph.D. dissertation. I plan to start my new life with my wife Brandy at the

My life in this country is a
wonderful journey. For these years I studies at the University of Utah, I
worked as a RA for 2 and 1/2 years in the Family and Consumers Studies
department, where I learned a lot about the gender issues in the United States.
I also advanced my SAS programming skill a lot through this job (thank you very

first publication. The title of the article is “Impending Widowhood and Health
Care Spending”. Please go to website: www.elsevier.com/locate/ssresearch

I also teach two classes at
Whenever I am not doing research
or teaching, I like to go swimming and do some work out. I also like to read
books (on different subjects, but mostly history and environmental issues). I
also watch movies, especially foreign films. My all time favorite movies are:
Red (by Krzysztof Kieslowski),
The Age of Innocence (by Martin Scorsese), and The Wild Reeds (by André Téchiné, my favorite director).
