Writing a short eulogy for Dr. Dukes
Mohamed H.
Assalamu Alaikum and good afternoon to you all.
I am making a request to the participants in this group that if you worked with Dr. Kais Dukes in the past, can you please email me directly a short summary of your experience working with Dr. Dukes and your experience interacting with him?
I would like to memorialize him and his effort in creating the Quran corpus (among other research).
It is unfortunate that someone who has had such a large impact on the Arabic NLP field, as well as the many Islamic studies students who benefited from his development, is not widely known when searching about him.
The format to reply:
- Your experience collaborating with Dr. Dukes
- Your positive interactions with him (his shining qualities)
- A link to your professional profile/website/bio
- Your name (including academic title)
Also, if anybody has an email contact to reach his spouse or other family members, please send that to me (privately) so that I can reach out to them to get their blessings for the eulogy and their positive messages too.
Shukran,
Mohamed
