Waqas Rasheed
Mayank is no-doubt one of the nicest persons I have had the good luck to be mentored by. He instills in you a positive energy just by talking with you, and is a great team player, a wonderful communicator, and just plain fun to work with. He has had a tremendous role in how I’ve developed as a chemist and human being, and has guided me through a lot of problems, even after he left the Que Group at the U of M. Wherever he ends up being, he will be an irreplaceable resource!
