“Passionate”, “vigorous”, and “well-experienced” are just some words that come to mind after several exchanges with Professor Sa-Aadu. He was invited to NTU by Professor Chiang (姜堯民) from the Department of Finance, who is his former Ph.D. student at the University of Iowa. They are working on a project together here. Professor Sa-Aadu gives lectures on fixed income securities to GMBA students. “Being here is very helpful for the project because we can solve problems together,” Professor Sa-Aadu said. “Besides, I really like Taiwan. People are friendly and helpful, and there are many open spaces and trees. I’m very delighted to be here.”
