The award is an initiative of the Graduate School of Science and Engineering (GSSE) and the PhD Council, in order to recognize the efforts made by the professors to effectively and pleasantly guide PhD candidates in this important phase of their careers and lives. The award is based on votes and answers of a poll among all ~1000 PhD students of the Faculty. Thus, quite an outstanding achievement: Congratulations Jan-Anton!
