CMBN’s Denis Paré Wins the 2024-’25 Daniel Gorenstein Memorial Award
March 12, 2025
Denis Paré, Distinguished Professor of Neuroscience at Rutgers University–Newark, has been named the 2024–25 recipient of Rutgers University’s Daniel Gorenstein Memorial Award, one of Rutgers’ most prestigious honors conferred on its faculty.
The Daniel Gorenstein Memorial Award was established in 1993 by family, friends, and colleagues to commemorate Professor Gorenstein’s innovative mathematical research, his skillful and enthusiastic exposition of his field, and his wise and devoted service to Rutgers University. The award was first presented in 1994 and is given each year to a Rutgers faculty member noted for both outstanding scholarly achievement and exceptional service to the university. Paré is the 31st scholar to receive this award, whose previous recipients are disciplinarily diverse, and only the second RU-N faculty member to be selected over that time-span.
Upon hearing the news, Paré experienced a mix of emotions. “I felt surprised, humbled and honored by this award,” said Paré, “plus a major case of impostor syndrome.”
