It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Dr. Alessandro Di Bucchianico on Monday, July 8, 2024. Alessandro dedicated over 31 years to the community at TU Eindhoven, working with great distinction as Associate Professor in the SPOR cluster and serving as Program Director within the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. He was also extremely active in the PWN committee Innovation for many years and was especially known for all the work he did regarding the very successful annual Studygroups Mathematics with Industry in The Netherlands.
Alessandro was not only a brilliant mathematician but also a cherished member of our academic family. His contributions to statistics were substantial, influencing his students and peers with his excellent research and commitment to education. His legacy will endure through the countless lives he touched and the many students he inspired. We remember Alessandro as a very dedicated and amiable colleague. He was always ready to assist and help, highly professional with a keen eye for detail. He was a great industrial statistician, who had a wonderful sense for unique collaborations and a strong devotion to applications of Mathematics in tackling challenges in industry and society. His contributions and presence will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of working with him.
Beyond his professional achievements, Alessandro was known for his kindness, integrity, and the genuine warmth he brought to every interaction. He was a mentor, a friend, and a guiding light for many. His untimely passing is a great loss, felt most acutely by his wife, children, and extended family. This loss will also resonate deeply within the statistics group at TU Eindhoven, the broader statistics community in The Netherlands and beyond (he was a very active member of ENBIS) and in the Platform Wiskunde Nederland.
Our thoughts are with Alessandro’s wife, children, and extended family at this incredibly difficult time. We extend our deepest condolences and support to them, sharing in their grief and remembering the remarkable person Alessandro was. In honoring Alessandro’s memory, let us continue to uphold the values and passion for knowledge that he exemplified throughout his life.
