Under his leadership, the international application pool at Amherst tripled during his tenure, resulting in a 2% admit rate and the largest international class in Amherst's history.


He is widely published on international student mobility issues on major industry publications. He was interviewed and quoted by many mainstream media outlets, including The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and Nature.


His Chinese translation of Admission Matters, a comprehensive US college admissions guidebook, has been the #1 bestseller in China among study abroad books for five years in a row. His new book, a memoir of his journey in college admissions in the United States, will be published in China in late 2024.


Both of his master's and doctoral degrees were earned at Boston College, where his research focus was on international student mobility trends.
