== Professor, Department of Computer Science, NYU · Deepak's Collaborator During Sabbatical
Please accept my deepest condolences, also from Ruzica Piskac, who knew Deepak for many years. We have been very saddened by this news.
Deepak was visiting me last summer and fall when he spent his sabbatical at NYU. Deepak told me not long ago that he and Roli bought an apartment in New York and that they were looking forward to spending more time in the city. He and I had plans to continue our collaboration once he had time to fully settle in New York.
I first met Deepak at a Dagstuhl seminar many years ago. Since I was attending the seminar locally from Saarbruecken, I was there by car and gave him a ride back at the end of the week. The car was fully packed with PhD students and Deepak did not mind at all. He was so kind and generous to us all. I always admired him — not only was he an exceptional scientist but also such a truly wonderful and kind person. It is a great loss. We will dearly miss him.
