Charlie Yan
This is some of my writing — ranging from random thoughts and op-eds to research notes. It represents my perspective both as a professional and as a person.
My perspective:
Community & Philanthropy
UCLA Alumni Association
WUSTL Alumni Association
Polaris Education (2016–2020, China) – Founded a non-profit that hosted summercamps for underprivileged children. Programs combined science, arts, and sports, and grew from 4 to 20 team members, bringing together students from around the world.
OpenShelf (coming soon) - a continuation of my work in bridging educational gaps and fostering intellectual exchange. Inspired by the spirit of open collaboration, it is a platform where fund managers, researchers, and professionals can share what they’re currently reading — whether technical papers, books, or non-technical works that broaden perspective.
