The Mayor explained that Prof. Hassanizadeh was awarded this medal for his insight and dedication in the broad application of his knowledge of hydrogeology. The motivation for this distinction had been his exceptional record as a professor, researcher, and lecturer in the field of porous media flow and transport. He is considered an authority in the field of porous media and his work has received national and international recognition. Also, the role of Prof. Hassanizadeh in founding InterPore and leading it to maturity had been an important factor in earning him this honor. Other major recognitions of Majid have been his election as Fellow of American Geophysical Union(2002), as Fellow of American Association for Advancement of Science (2007), and as Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecturer (by the US National Groundwater Association, 2012); he has received honorary degree of Doctor-Ingenieur from Stuttgart University (2008), von Humboldt Foundation Prize (2010), and Don and Betty Kirkham Soil Physics Medal (from Soil Science Society of America, 2011).
