The Department of Mathematics has a long tradition of honoring outstanding undergraduate and graduate mathematics students through the annual Orhan Alisbah Mathematics Awards, supported by the generous contributions of the Alisbah family.
Two students, Metin Can Aydemir (MATH/IV) and Reidi Haderi (MATH/PhD), received this year’s Orhan Alisbah Fellowships at a ceremony that took place in the Department of Mathematics lobby on December 21.
The fellowships are conferred annually in memory of Prof. Orhan Alisbah (1910–1989), one of Turkey’s best-known mathematicians, and his son Bilsel Alisbah (1937–2017), former lecturer at Bilkent University. The award helps keep the memory of Prof. Orhan Alisbah alive so that he may continue to serve as an exemplary role model for young mathematicians.
