On A Wing And A Poon

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great honor that I introduce you to Dr. Andrew Wing On Poon:




Who is this mysterious Poon, you may ask. I was just getting ready to tell you. Dr. Poon just so happens to be Assistant Professor at the world-renown Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. As you can imagine, this is a well educated Poon. I happened to run across his bio while doing some.....umm.....research for an upcoming blog post. Yeah, that's it. Anyway, it was with great interest that I read the story of this magnificent Poon.

For example, did you know that Poon was an Ivy Leaguer?? Yep, that's right! After completing his undergraduate work at the University of Chicago, this Poon went on to Yale where he earned both a Ph.D. AND an M.Phil. in Physics. Professor Poon's interests include silicon-based micro- and nano-photonic devices for wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical communications, micro-cavity optics, photonic integrated circuits. Wowee, that's one impressive Poon!!!

So how did Andrew Wing On Poon manage to achieve such greatness in a relatively short time?? Undoubtedly he was raised well by his parents. I imagine the entire Poon clan is a very tight group. Being a minority attending college in the U.S., I'm sure Poon took quite a pounding from his peers, but this is one Poon that couldn't be licked. Surely Dr. Poon will someday have some little Poons of his own...and they, too, will grow up to live meaningful, productive (and reproductive) lives.

Can you imagine attending a course taught by Poon?? Day in and day out, those bright young faces must gather their books and hurry to class, eager for the opportunity to share in the presence of the magnificent Poon. I bet they sit and stare at Poon for hours, just waiting to hear what will come out of his lips next.

Those who know the professor regard him as a very sweet, warm Poon, but they warn others to approach Poon with great caution. Indeed, they say there are certain times of the month when this Poon is best left undisturbed. But in general, he is a delightful Poon who should be respected and admired by all.
