博士論文：Chen, Yi-Hsuan (2019): Influences of Surface Spectral Emissivity and Cloud Longwave Scattering on Climate Simulations, https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/handle/2027.42/155322

Yi-Hsuan's PhD thesis acknowledgmentMy PhD thesis is all about climate model simulations. Without the help of high-performance computing resources, this thesis would not be possible. I would like to acknowledge the computational resources and services provided by Advanced Research Computing at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, the high-performance computing support from Cheyenne (doi:10.5065/D6RX99HX) provided by NCAR's Computational and Information Systems Laboratory, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science User Facility operated under Contract No. DE-AC02-05CH11231.
My PhD journey has a lot of ups and downs. I would say, the times of downs are much more than the times of ups. Finishing PhD is tough. As an international student, in addition to facing the challenges of research, dealing with the challenges of language, culture, and daily matters is not easy. Fortunately, I have plowed through all the challenges, completed my PhD thesis, and now I am writing the acknowledgment. Without the help of many people, I would not be able to complete my thesis and get to the final stage of my PhD journey.
I first would like to thank my adviser, Prof. Xianglei Huang. I first met him in Academia Sinica, Taiwan, when I was working as a research assistant. He visited there and knew I will apply for a PhD. He told me to send him an email when I submit my application, and he will take a look at my application materials. Fortunately, he gave me an offer. I applied for 10+ PhD programs and only got this offer. Without him, I would not start my PhD journey. I am very grateful for him to give me this opportunity. During my PhD study, he has shown me the role models of a serious scientist, a dedicated teacher, and a supportive mentor. I am particularly grateful that he is willing to spend time on all his students and me, although he is super super busy. Since my first semester, we have had an individual meeting every week. Sometimes I feel guilty to occupy his time for my silly questions and slow research progress.
I would also like to thank my committee members, Prof. Mark Flanner, Prof. Ángel F. Adames-Corraliza, and Prof. Chris Poulsen. Thanks for their time to review my research work and provide me invaluable feedback. I would also like to thank my collaborator, Prof. Ping Yang and Dr. Chia-Pang Kuo.
I would like to thank my research group members: Fang, Hongze, Lu, Zack, Colten, Chongxing, Yan, Xiuhong, and Xianwen. I would like to give a particular thank to Xiuhong, for her support on modifying the surface emissivity in climate models. Also, I would like to thank my friends in CLaSP, in the Taiwanese Student Organization, in the Mosaic Church, and at the UM. Without the companion of these awesome people, my PhD journey and life in Ann Arbor would be dry and boring.
I would like to thank the CLaSP staff and IT group. Without their help. I couldn’t go anywhere.
I would like to thank the UM for providing considerable resources for students, like seminars, workshops, courses, social events, sports, concerts, you name it!
Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents, my sisters, and all my relatives. It is a privilege to born and grow up in a family that cares and supports education. It is a privilege to have a healthy body to do almost whatever I want. It is a privilege to study abroad at the prestigious and wonderful UM. Many things I don’t deserve; they are from generous and unconditional supports from others.

指導教授黃象磊老師寫給我的七言律詩
七 律 • 賀 毅 軒 答 辯
⼀別東鯤赴安城，萬裏風濤到此齋。 未解五年長閉⼾，且欣千載可開懷。 ⼈⽣有志如磐⽯，吾道無憂似落槐。 闡幽發微窺全豹，從頭再覓⼤丹崖。
巳亥年⼄亥月癸亥日，毅軒順利博⼠答辯。逾⼆⼗載苦讀， 終⾄於茲。此中甘苦，自不待⾔。有幸與毅軒師⽣五年之誼， 是以賀之。祝鵬程萬裏，再展宏圖！
