We are deeply saddened by the killing of Sufyan Tayeh. Brilliant scientist and long time friend of ICTP.
He was part of our family, as he visited ICTP in 2001 and in 2004 as a TRIL fellow. May there be comfort in knowing that a person so special will never be forgotten
We are deeply shocked by the announcement of the killing of Sufyan Tayeh,
