BALDUR SIGURDSSON
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: ICELAND
â I chose CEU partially because I wanted to go
beyond the geographical regions that are
standard choices for Scandinavian people. CEU
has a small but very active and well-connected
math department. My advisor here also works at
the respected Alfred Renyi Institute of Mathematics
and there are a good number of other CEU
partnerships with Renyi that result in interesting
research and topical seminars and conferences. â
