My advisor in IST is Prof. Xiaolong (Luke) Zhang. His name "Xiao Long" in Chinese means "little dragon". Differently from Western countries, dragon in China was a symbol of emperors. We often call our Chinese as "descendants of dragon". So "Xiao Long" and "Long"(dragon) are popular names in China.
We are from the same country - China, and the same undergraduate university - Tsinghua University. However, honestly I have very little information about my advisor's personally life, because we only know each other for less than 2 months. As far as I know, he has a little daughter - He often mentions her but I have not got a chance to see her. Another thing I know is that Xiaolong is a soccer fan - we played together on weekends.
I believe a good personality match between advisor and student is quite important for graduate studies. Xiaolong is a very easygoing man, and always glad to offer help. So far it is a very nice experience working with him.
