An alumnus of Freie Universität is making rapid progress in his career: Karim Adiprasito, 27, is one of three young men to be awarded the European Prize in Combinatorics at the Eurocomb conference in Bergen, Norway. These prestigious prizes are awarded every two years and include a monetary award of 2,500 euros. Adiprasito earned his doctorate two years ago at Freie Universität Berlin and is currently a professor of mathematics at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In December 2014, the highly talented young mathematician was awarded an Ernst Reuter Prize from Freie Universität Berlin for his outstanding dissertation. The 27-year-old Karim Adiprasito has already achieved some major milestones. While still in secondary school, he completed most of the lectures required for a degree in mathematics so that in April 2010, after only two and one-half years at the university - including a year at IIT Bombay - he had his first degree in mathematics.
