A native of Taiwan, Wang had gone to Atlanta to meet a friend--Wen Ling Hsiu, 25, of Athens, Ga.--before driving to New Orleans for the New Year.
According to Alabama state troopers, Wang was driving her friend's car along Interstate 10, four miles east of the Mississippi state line at 6:20 p.m. Dec. 24, when she ran off the road and struck a tree.
Wang died at the scene of the accident. Her friend was hospitalized for minor injuries.
Last June, Wang received a masters of science degree in epidemiology from the School of Public Health. This fall, she began studying for her Ph.D. in environmental health.
She was vice president of the Harvard Republic of China Student Club, which holds cultural events and other social gatherings for undergraduates, graduate students and faculty members.
