Selim Unlu is a Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Boston University. Colleagues describe him as "Selim is brilliant but modest, hard-working, charming and incredibly generous. He is, from what I learned over the years through his students and colleagues, a kind but firm mentor. He almost always finds time to help, regardless of one's station in life. His generosity extends beyond this academic life and, in my opinion, makes him a truly kind human being.", "I've known Selim since grad school and collaborated with him nearly as long. He's got a keen intellect and works very hard to arrive at innovative solutions - all attributes which make me confident that anyone accepting my recommendation will not be disappointed.", and "I had the honor to be Selim's first Grad & PhD student. He is a very energetic professor with the utmost passion for teaching. As his Research Assistant of 5 years, I benefited from remarkable scientific knowledge and built up an impressive resume under his direction. He looks after each and every one of his student. Most importantly I consider him a valuable friend and miss the recreational time we spent together in Boston biking, skiing, and playing soccer."
