My advisor is Dr. John Yen.
Frankly, I don't know a lot about his personal life. There are two possible reasons: first, I have been working with him for only a year; second, during the past year, I didn't really have many chances to learn more about him because he is too busy. The only long and casual conversation we had, through which I learned something about his family and life, was at the Graduate Recruitment Events in March 2007, when I met him for the first time. I learned more about him little by little throughout the past year, but still, not much.
He was originally from Taiwan and has been in the US for almost 30 years. His wife Michelle is also from Taiwan. He has two kids. His son graduated from Penn State's Smeal business school and is now at Harvard Law School for graduate course works. His daughter is attending college in California.
As far as I know, he likes to sing songs. He has a set of very good Karaoke system at home with a lot of popular Chinese songs.
