I was very touched by prof. Sheila McIlraith's words as she remembered prof. Fahiem Bacchus during IJCAI's opening ceremony today.

Attending IJCAI brings back memories from my first IJCAI, when I met him. I had the huge privilege to be invited by him to come to UofT for a research visit two years later. He taught me a lot about how to think about Boolean Satisfiability and how to read papers about it. He was an honest and supportive mentor to me. He is greatly missed.
