This is terribly sad news.  Dai was a major contributor to the skimming technology many of us are using today.  He made careful detailed comparisons between the QS1R and the Red Pitaya spot performance, proving that the RP could be a very good alternative when the QS1R ceased to be in production.

He will be missed.
