He received over 20 internal company awards, which ranged from providing outstanding statistical consulting to a number of research and computing projects, a Research Quality Compliance Award in 2010 for “dedication to excellence and fostering a quality culture throughout Pfizer”, and Pfizer’s highest honor, the Achievement Award Winner, for developing the Ann Arbor research site’s Science Education Task Force Middle/High School outreach programs.
