Two students, Çisem Güneş (MATH/PhD) and Mehmet Eren Durlanık (MATH/III), received this year’s Orhan Alisbah Fellowships at a ceremony held by the Department of Mathematics on Wednesday, November 30.
The award is conferred in memory of Prof. Orhan Alisbah (1910-1989), one of Turkey’s best-known mathematicians. Since 1998, his son, Prof. Bilsel Alisbah, has presented fellowships to Bilkent University Department of Mathematics students each year. This award helps keep alive the memory of Prof. Orhan Alisbah, so that he continues to serve as an exemplary role model for young mathematicians.
