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.
Three students, Alper Akyüz (MATH/IV), Deniz Ergün (MATH/IV), and Onur Ege Erden (MATH/MS), received this year’s Orhan Alisbah Fellowships at a ceremony that took place in the Department of Mathematics lobby.
The fellowships are conferred annually in memory of Prof. Orhan Alisbah (1910–1989), one of Türkiye’s best-known mathematicians, and his son Bilsel Alisbah (1937–2017), former lecturer at Bilkent University. The award helps keep the memory of Prof. Alisbah alive so that he may continue to serve as an exemplary role model for young mathematicians.
Prof. Fatihcan Atay, expressed his gratitude in these words: “The award is made possible through the generous contributions of the Alisbah Family, to whom I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for their continued support of mathematics in our country across generations.”
