Tony has taught me so many valuable lessons, from the first time I met him as a young Master’s student. I distinctly remember our first encounter at a small meeting in Tokyo. I was nervous and excited about being able to have a few minutes with him and told him about my PhD idea. He listened intently. That was my first lesson--to listen and to be humble. Since then, he became my PhD supervisor, mentor, friend and colleague. He gave me advice whenever I needed and constantly nudged me to look deeper and more critically. He never stopped in his quest to question what really matters and to challenge ideas. Tony has been a profoundly influential figure in my life and he has shaped me into who I am today, personally and professionally. I will take forward the lessons on having integrity, compassion and tenacity. Thank you Tony.
