In a short time he has developed an outstanding international reputation in the area of soft matter physics and biophysics. In an era dominated by large funding initiatives and complex instrumentation, Dalnoki-Veress is an inspired scientist and research supervisor who can find deep insight from brilliant direct experiments."
