I was recognized as "Ajou Honorary Alumni" along with my then-gf-now-wife, Kahyun Choi, by our alma mater, Ajou University. While I'm deeply humbled, it's so cute that they paired us together as a team. Also, the Ghibli-style image! The cutest plaque I've ever received!

2024 was a heartwarming year with many changes in my life. Probably one of the most fun things was to meet new students and to teach them in the good old Siebel Center. Picture is from the last day of the fall semester (posting with students’ permission). Looking forward to the year of 2025!
