As a nontraditional student, he majored in philosophy and political w88 online casino at University of California, Davis. Following graduation, he lived in Hong Kong, Beijing and Sapporo, Japan, eventually returning to the states to earn a Master's degree from George Washington University in national security policy, focusing on East Asia.

At Stony Brook University, he became interested in computational approaches to social w88 online casino, including multiagent simulation, geographic information systems and big data research methods.
