"When I was pursuing the PhD degree from the Department of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University, I acquired in-depth knowledge relating to manufacture and management. It taught me to integrate engineering and management knowledge into my research and teaching profession in Taiwan. Also, my research level, administrative and execution capabilities have all been improved. I can?t express how grateful I am in receiving this award. However, the honor of this award should all be given to my professors of Purdue University, who have enlightened my thoughts and built my technological abilities."
