Prof. Dr. Birgit Dräger

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 him. He will be missed and remembered by colleagues and friends in Leipzig, in the academic field, and far beyond. I convey my deepest sympathy to his family.
