Acknowledgments

I am forever grateful to the following people:

  For your mentorship, encouragement, and unwavering support throughout my academic journey.
• Dr. Norman Sheu (UC Berkeley)
  For your big-brother guidance, generosity, and all those memorable dinners.
• Professor Pascal Vontobel (CUHK)
  For your kindness, generosity, and invaluable advice.

  For your warmhearted support, your commitment to justice, and mentorship.

  I will always strive to pay forward the kindness you have shown me. May I, in time, repay the grace you have shown me when fortune grants me the means.
