This lecture is held in honor of our colleague Dr. Biao Ding who passed away unexpectedly on June 25, 2015 in Prague, Czech Republic while attending an international conference. Biao was a courageous, independent thinker of the highest quality and integrity, and a gentle, kind and sincere person who generously shared his time and resources with colleagues.
