Summary
Intensifiers are said to weaken. Consider this:
Special thanks to; [name] for valuable suggestions and skilful reflections concerning my research, [name] for fruitful discussions, [name] for excellent work, [name] for excellent help, [name] for excellent advice, [name] for helpful comments, [name] for fruitful discussions
Instead, try to be specific, as in this example (Rikard Nelander, 2009):
First, I would like to thank my supervisor [name] for introducing me to the field of transport and optics in nanostructures and for always having his door open for questions and discussions. . . . I also would like to thank; . . . [name] for introducing me to solid-state physics, and [name] for leading me towards theoretical semiconductor physics. . . . [name] for the many discussions about quantum cascade lasers and semiconductor optics . . .
A warm thank you goes to [name], with whom I have had the pleasure to share an office during most of my PhD studies. His refusal to learn Swedish during his four-year stay has taught me Danish . . .
or, like this, about quick revisions (Cristina Book, 2009):
I want to express my gratitude to [name], for your thorough reviews of the text in all the papers (within 24 hours).
