                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 1, 2011

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize one of my 
constituents, Dr. Aage M ller, a distinguished lecturer, professor, and 
neuroscience researcher at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD). Dr. 
M ller, an international authority on brain plasticity and sensory 
systems is known for his cutting-edge and innovative research, but on 
the campus of UTD, he is known to many students simply as a terrific 
educator.
  Dr. M ller is a dedicated educator--empowering his students in the 
classroom and neuroscience laboratories so that they can grow 
academically and professionally. His belief in the importance of 
education has also led him and his wife, Margareta, to create the Aage 
and Margareta M ller Scholarship for veterans of the wars in Iraq and 
Afghanistan. On May 13, 2011, Dr. M ller received the President's 
Teaching Excellence Award for Tenure-Track Faculty from UTD. Dr. M ller 
was selected from among more than 100 faculty members nominated by 
students. This award speaks loudly of the respect and high regard his 
students have for him. I know his work has touched countless lives. In 
fact, among Dr. M ller's most important contributions to the field is 
his development of a technique known as intraoperative 
neurophysiological monitoring. Surgeons around the world use Dr. 
M ller's method to reduce the risk of serious complications from brain 
surgery.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Dr. 
M ller on receiving this

prestigious award and for his many years of educating and inspiring the 
next generation of educators and scientists.
