Mentioning professor names in SOP ?

[zoom1]

When I mention one of the projects I conduct, is it okay to mention the name of professor  as follows;

 

One of the remarkable projects I have been conducting under supervision of Prof. Dr. ---------- is ......

 

Do you think that is okay, or not necessary or shouldnt be included at all ?

 

Thanks in advance

Yes, that's fine. Are you in Europe/Germany? Prof. Dr. is of course a title that I don't believe we use in the U.S. - but my SOP does feature it from my time in Germany.

I would say definitely include the names of the professors you've worked with.  If you mention previous professors you've worked with, not only does it help show that you're grateful for those opportunities, but I also helps demonstrate that you're a good ambassador for the projects that you've been on, by mentioning who you worked with on them, and shows that you'll be a good ambassador for future projects.
