Congratulations, Jan! This award is very well deserved.
It was my privilege to be one of his early PhD students. Jan sets an example through practice. He works very hard, keeps himself abreast of the current literature and believes in finding simple yet elegant solutions to the complex problems. The simplicity of his approach has earned him the American Physical Society’s Dillon medal – the most coveted award for a polymer physicist under the age of 40. His long list of awards, which includes the Camille Dreyfus teacher award, NSF CAREER award, the Sigma Xi research award, special creativity Award from NSF, is a testimony to his dedication to teaching and creative research.
Congratulations on yet another award for all that magic that you do with polymer systems. It was a pleasure working with you while I was in NC, and I hope to cross paths again in the future.
Congratulations Jan! It was truly my pleasure to work with you and your team at NC State! Your ability to take the complexity out of highly disorganized systems is astonishing. I hope we continue to run into each other around town and I wish you only the best!
Dr. Genzer is the best research advisor a student could have. Dr.G welcomed me into his group although I was pursuing a PhD in Chemistry with open arms. As I sit here at my desk, here in MD at the National Institutes of Health, I have the Professional Family Tree above my desk that you individualize for each of your PhD students. I appreciate you and the working environment that you provided for me at NC State. I also had the pleasure to be hooded during the 2007 Spring Graduation ceremony by Dr. G. Your scholarly works, love for training and mentoring students are truly deserved of this honor. Congrats Dr. G!
Congratulations, Sir! A very-well deserved award like many others you already have!! I don't think words would be enough to describe him but let me summarize it with one sentence: He's the best thing that can ever happen to a graduate student. He's a role model that anyone can look up to. Not only is he an amazing human being, but he's also EXTREMELY smart, sincere, caring, ready-to-cheer-you-up at any moment. His career speaks for itself and I feel VERY honored and privileged to get my degree under his supervision. Deserving his signature on my degree is one of the most important things I'm concerned about. What we have inside for him is beyond respect. And DEKUJI for making us feel this way.
Awesome! Congrats to you. With all the hard work, the dedication to your students, and great attitude it is no wonder you have achieved this award. It was an honor and a priviledge to have been in your group while at NCSU.
Jan is not only an insightful scientist, an encouraging and inspiring advisor, but also a caring friend of his students. It is my priviledge to be a part of his academic family tree.
Congratulations DJG! Jan Genzer was/ is a great advisor, teacher and friend. Even though I'm done with my graduate tenure at NCState, he is still always available to explain any aspect of science with utmost patience, gets excited about new ideas, and expects the best of himself and students (both past and present) to exceed in their professional careers and life. While I may forever see surfaces reorganizing, I am truly blessed to have him as my mentor! This honor is well-deserved but I'm not at all surprised!
Each year, the Alumni Association honors 18 faculty members who have excelled in teaching, research and extension. We give them monetary awards and celebrate their achievements at a dinner held in their honor.
We would like to ask you to tell us why these faculty members are special to you. Perhaps they pointed you down a particular career path, developed your critical thinking skills or took the time to get you back on track in a particular discipline. Tell us your story!
