I wanted to give a shout out to the graduate students that I have advised who have graduated this year (spring and summer defences). They have produced thought-provoking theses and dissertations on a rich variety of topics. Their research has made me a better researcher in turn, particularly through multiple discussions and arguments. Ben, Cherilyn, Nghi, Yongqing, and Yunting, I have learnt a lot from you. Best wishes for the next step of your careers!
