It's with great sadness that we inform you of the death of Abel Kahsay Gebreslassie, doctoral student at LaBRI. Abel left us far too soon, leaving behind him a huge void in our scientific and human community.
Passionate and brilliant, Abel distinguished himself through his innovative work in artificial intelligence and information visualization. His intelligence, rigor and enthusiasm will leave their mark on all those who had the good fortune to know him and work alongside him.
Our thoughts go out first and foremost to his family and friends in this painful ordeal. We assure them of our support and deepest sympathy.
