Kondolenzbuch Sayan Mukherjee

What a loss! Prof. Dr. Sayan Mukherjee came to Leipzig University with great ideas and convincing plans for his research in the field of data science and statistics. He was not only full of inspiration and enthusiasm, but openminded, friendly, and warmhearted. It was always a great pleasure to meet…

Sayan will be missed as a kind and humorous person as well as an exceptionally bright mind and scientist. His outstanding contributions to the mathematical foundations of AI and the topological analysis of structures will live on and continue to help improve patient care in the future. My heartfelt…

Sayan Mukherjee was one of the most singular people I've ever met.

I was a grad student at Duke when he joined the faculty in our program, and was immediately drawn to this brash, unapologetic, witty, and oh-so-human genius, invariably dressed in some mildly-to-not-that-mildly offensive t-shirt.…

Sayan, as an outstanding scientist, and wonderful, warmhearted colleague you came to Leipzig. You enriched our academic community, and became a friend to many.
My deepest condolences to your family. May your great spirit live on.

I am deeply saddened and shocked by the news. I have very fond memories of Sayan. It was always a joy to talk with him about math and so many other topics. He was a warm, friendly, and funny person. I especially appreciated his intuitive explanations of complex ideas and the originality of his…

I am very sorry to hear his sudden and unexpected passing. Sayan was a fantastic mathematician/statistician with deep geometric insight. People here at UC Davis invited him at least twice, one in 2016 and the other in 2018, for his lectures and talks, which my students and I enjoyed very much. In…
