Top statistician Liu Jun has returned to China full-time and is now a chair professor at Tsinghua University.

Foreign media: Renowned statistician Liu Jun, who has been teaching at Harvard University for many years, has recently returned to China full-time and was appointed as a chair professor at Tsinghua University last month. His research areas include data science, biostatistics, and artificial intelligence. His return to China is driven by both patriotic feelings and a passion for education and science.

Liu Jun's academic journey spans several decades. He initially transferred from Rutgers University in the United States to the University of Chicago for his studies and studied under statistician Yongxiong Huang.

Now, in the context of reduced research funding in the United States, he has chosen to return to his homeland, which is seen as an important case of China attracting top scholars.
