Professor Sachin Sapatnekar has been selected a Distinguished McKnight University Professor. As described by the Graduate School, "the goal of the Distinguished McKnight University Professorship program is to honor and reward the University of Minnesota's highest-achieving faculty who recently have attained full professor status — especially those whose careers have developed at the University, whose intellectual work and reputation are identified with Minnesota, and whose work has brought great renown and prestige to the University of Minnesota."

This highly competitive university-wide award includes the title Distinguished McKnight University Professor, which the recipient holds for as long as they remain at the University of Minnesota, plus an unrestricted research grant.
