what students say: That rare individual who enters your life and affects it forever...He is genuinely concerned about the success of each student. If you work in his lab you get unlimited encouragement...His lab has a family atmosphere; we take an annual ski trip, picnic in the summer...He's incredibly modest for such an acclaimed researcher...a low key superstar!
