Channing Robertson, the face of Stanford chemical engineering department and the associate dean of Stanford’s School of Engineering, who taught and mentored Elizabeth Holmes, has said the following to say about her:
“She had somehow been able to take and synthesize these pieces of science and engineering and technology in ways that I had never thought of.”
“I never encountered a student like this before of the then thousands of students that I had talked”
“You start to realize you are looking in the eyes of another Bill Gates, or Steve Jobs.”
He also maintained that Holmes was a once-in-a-generation genius, comparing her to Newton, Einstein, Mozart, and Leonardo da Vinci.
