Acknowledgments

Almost every Ph.D. dissertation consists of an acknowledgments section in which the writer gives thanks to all the major individuals, institutions, friends, and family who have lent their much-needed support throughout this journey. I spent no less than 8 pages recognizing the multitudes of people far smarter than I who shaped my intellectual development. Of course, the final paragraph was reserved for the sweetest woman I know, Betty Chau Nguyen.
Love you, babe.
