Decades after graduating from Waterloo Engineering, an alumnus is commemorating the supportive relationship he had with his doctoral supervisor by funding a professorship in both their names.
Mohamed Azzam (MASc ’71 and PhD ’75, chemical engineering) has launched an endowment for the Azzam-Dullien Endowed Professorship in recognition of Francis Dullien’s commitment to him while he was a PhD student and post-doctoral researcher.
Azzam describes Dullien, a Waterloo chemical engineering professor from 1966 until his retirement in 1994, as his mentor, motivator, educator and friend.
“He guided my research every step of the way and encouraged me to perfect every aspect of my projects,” says Azzam.
