I’m pleased to share the good news that Bob has been appointed University Professor, the University’s highest honour.  https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/university-professors/

“The University of Toronto owes much of its reputation and stature to the quality of its eminent professors. The University recognizes unusual scholarly achievement and pre-eminence in a particular field of knowledge through the designation of University Professor. The number of such appointments does not generally exceed two per cent of the tenured faculty. Its very exclusivity stands to underline the highly prestigious nature of the University Professor designation.”

So hearty congratulations to Bob on this major recognition!!

Peter Martin, Professor
