Shayan Oveis Gharan, Iranian computer scientist (@oveisgharan), has won the prestigious 2026 IMU Abacus Medal! Amid all the sad news of war surrounding my country, this is truly wonderful news. It is specially wonderful to see this recognition for someone who was one of my teachers during high school. https://youtu.be/ycN287XCSBM?si=GC48vtc_S2LOVxUD
