We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our very own Dr. Fatih Dinc has been named the recipient of the 2026 Richard C. DiPrima Prize by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). This highly competitive international award is issue only once every two years to a single early-career researcher. It recognizes the most outstanding doctoral dissertation in the field of applied mathematics, highlighting research that demonstrates mathematics rigor and practical implications.
Dr. Dinc's award-winning Ph.D. dissertation, title "Extracting fundamental principles of computation the mammalian brain from large scale neural recordings" was recognized for creating a remarkable bridge between applied mathematics and neuroscience. Fatih will be formally recognized for his work and contributions at the 2026 SIAM Annual Meeting, which will take place from July 6-10 2026, in Cleveland, Ohio. The meeting is a cornerstone event for the global applied mathematics community, showcasing the state of the art in computational and data science.
