We would not express the right words to thank him and wish his have the best of rest of the life. He will be dearly missed." The Zhang Family, Short Hills, NJ

I often had difficulty understanding concepts in one of Professor Giessen's classes. He always took the time to help students work through problems and would consistently schedule time outside of his traditional office hours to help study groups. He brought life and humor to a subject traditionally viewed as dry and boring. The dedication he brought to the classroom was a true inspiration, and his passing is a great loss to the academic community.

Professor Giessen was the most inspiring professor i have ever experienced. More dedicated than anyone i've ever met and his knowledge was astounding.He helped me out greatly along my pathway to science. He will be greatly missed.

I worked as a research assistant under Dr Giessen. His enthusiasm, energy and dedication was unmatched and truely inspirational. A very influential teacher and guide and a very lovable person. He will be dearly missed.
