Awards and Prize Fellowships

​​

I have been rather fortunate and greatly honored to have received kind recognition from academic peers and seniors on my scholarly work. I do want to emphasize, however, that no achievement in life lives in a vacuum. I deeply appreciate the extensive support of my students, advisors, and professors in maintaining and developing my aspiration throughout my journey to become a scientist as well as all the contributions my colleagues, collaborators, and students have made to support and complement my research program.
