Congratulations to Dr. Peng Tao for receiving SMU President's Associates Outstanding Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence!
The committee viewed Dr. Tao as a clear outlier, noting his remarkable ability to transform a traditionally “sterile” subject into a thoughtful,

De"bug": the fan of our linux box stopped working after power outage yesterday. It turned out that there was literally a bug in the fan to clog it. A tribute to Grace Hopper, whose team coined term "debug" in 1940s by removing a moth from their computer to get it work again!
