On July 4th, our dear friend Professor Rustam Islamov passed away in a hospital due to a heart condition. It's a tragic loss for his family, friends, and colleagues. He almost reached his 67th birthday and was full of plans and projects, eager to live this life. Rustam was the most decent, selfless, and caring man we've known, a loving husband and father, an inspiration for friends and colleagues. He will be missed a lot by many people whose lives he had changed forever.
