Two students, Ergun Yanareri (PhD), and Ali Nabi Duman (3rd Year), received the “Orhan Alisbah Fellowship Award” on October 22, at the Department of Mathematics awards ceremony.
The Orhan Alisbah Fellowship is conferred in memory of Prof. Orhan Alisbah (1910-1989), one of the best known mathematicians in Turkey.
Every year since 1998, Prof. Bilsel Alisbah, son of Orhan Alisbah, has awarded fellowships to students in the Department of Mathematics at Bilkent.
This fellowship ensures that the memory of Prof. Alisbah is not forgotten, and continues to serve as an exemplary role model for young mathematicians.
