Allan Yi Ding received his B.E. from Fudan University and University College Dublin in a joint programme in 2008. Majoring in the history of Sung-Yuan China, he spent 3 years at the Institute for Historical Geography (Fudan University) as a master’s student until he was accepted into the master’s programme of Regional Studies – East Asia at Harvard University in 2011.
