Dr. Pike Tin

His name literally “remain on a [fishing] net”.

His mother had a few miscarriages. When he was conceived, his mother wanted to make sure that Saya would be born safe and sound.

She performed a “Yadaya” (or similar) requiring someone close to her hold a “net” and “catch” Saya (in her imagination).

Saya received his Ph.D from Monash University, Australia. The dissertation is based on Stochastic Processes (and related topics). For many years, he served as Reviewer for research papers.

I had the opportunity to audit the “Linear Programming” course by him and learn his teaching style.

I also worked with Saya and others (U Sein Min, U Soe Nyunt, …) on the “new” High School Mathematics Project.

Saya Pike succeeded Saya Thein as Rector of ICST.
