Professor Durvudkhan Suragan has become one of the 20 selected Heidelberg Laureate Forum alumni

The School of Sciences and Humanities is proud to announce that Professor Durvudkhan Suragan has been selected as one of 20 esteemed Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) alumni to take on key roles during the 11th edition of the Forum, which will take place this September. As a session host, panelist, and interviewer, Prof. Suragan will play an active part in shaping the discussions and exchanges at this prestigious event.

Prof. Suragan, currently a professor in the Department of Mathematics at SSH and the youngest academician of the National Academy of Sciences, first attended the HLF in 2014.The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) is a networking conference where 200 carefully selected young researchers in mathematics and computer science spend a week interacting with the laureates of the disciplines: recipients of the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Fields Medal, IMU Abacus Medal and Nevanlinna Prize. Established in 2013, the HLF is annually organized by the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF).

Each year, the week-long conference, held during the last full week of September in Heidelberg, Germany, aims to foster collaboration and exchange between young researchers and distinguished laureates. The event combines a variety of scientific presentations with social activities designed to create an atmosphere of open dialogue. Participants like Prof. Suragan are selected through a rigorous process that evaluates their research, social engagement, and personal motivation.

This year's appointment of Prof. Suragan to a leading role at the Forum is a testament to his growing impact in the world of mathematics. We hope his continued contributions will undoubtedly inspire future generations of researchers to engage deeply in scientific exchange.
