I would like to express my deeply appreciation for Ken's support and instruction during my study at MIT from 1990 to 1995. He taught me not only the knowledge of research and science but also an attitude of life and work in my career. I always remembered his smile and patience to listen to my thoughts and plans although he might not agree on me. He is a real scholar we should respect. I am glad and lucky to be his students. Without his support and encouragement, I would not be able to obtain my degree at MIT and further development in my personal career.
Ken, we will remember you all the time. Thank you very much for your instruction and support. You would be a scholar always in my mind and a great teacher in my career.
