Nominated by:
Shuoyu Wang, Ziyan Ouyang, Aerik Carlton, Qi Guo

Comments from nominator:
Shuoyu Wang: You are not only the academic mentors, but also life mentors to me. I couldn't be more fortunate when I have not one, but two nice and outstanding advisers at the same time.

Ziyan Ouyang: Not only did they offer me a lot of opportunities to fulfil academic goals, they also guide me and everyone else who works with them with patience and understanding.

Aerik Carlton: These mentors go out of their way to address not just their student's academic needs, but they take the time to help and advise student's personal situations. I moved across the country to specifically work with these mentors, as I would not attempt a PhD with anyone else. They are compassionate, demanding, balanced, and caring.

Mentor comments:
Helping our students achieve their best.
