He accepted a permanent position with the department in the fall of 1990. Already a world-class researcher in set-theoretic topology, he continued to solve famous problems in the area until his death in the summer of 2002. In these fourteen years, he also established himself as an excellent teacher and an active supporter of student projects and activities. In recognition of his work with students, a memorial fund has been established to provide a yearly prize to students who have distinguished themselves, not only by excellent course work but also by going beyond the usual requirements for the degree.
