"I had the pleasure of supervising Habes as the committee chair for his graduation project in his Bachelor's degree. Habes was an amazing student, mathematician, researcher, and most importantly did a fantastic job under extreme time pressure. He was meticulous and had strong command of engineering principles combined with outstanding self motivation. I taught Habes 2 additional classes (Long Span Structures and Construction Engineering). He had clear vision as well as endless capabilities to solve complex problems by breaking them down and finding solutions. I strongly recommend him for any position in academia or industry."
