My Advisor: Late Ken Kennedy

My doctorate advisor, Ken Kennedy, died on February 7, 2007 after a battle with cancer. I respected him deeply and considered him my role model. His departure left a vacuum that will never be filled. Even though New York Times carried his obituary, I paid by own little tribute to him at a workshop arranged by Rice in his honor.
