As for my academic genealogy, my Ph.D. thesis advisor was Professor Jong Sou Park (Pennsylvania State University, 1994); his one was Paul Thomas Hulina (Pennsylvania State University, 1969); then it runs back through Jon G. Bredeson (Northwestern University, 1967), Seifollah Louis Hakimi (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), 1959), Mac Van Valkenburg (Stanford University, 1952), Oswald Garrison Villard, Jr. (Stanford University,1949), Frederick Emmons Terman (Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 1924, Sc.D.) and Vannevar Bush (MIT, 1916) to Arthur Edwin Kennelly (self-taught) (who was working in Thomas Edison's West Orange Laboratory from December 1887 to March 1894) and Duglad C. Jacson.
My postdoc advisor is Kishor S. Trivedi (UIUC, 1974) who is the Hudson Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University, USA.
