Melih Onuş (08 February 1981, Ankara – 10 September 2020, Ankara) was a Turkish mathematician, computer engineer and scientist. He represented Turkey in 1998 and 1999 at the International Mathematical Olympiad and was awarded a bronze and a silver medal, respectively. He died in the COVID-19 pandemic.

Early years and education

Melih Onuş, who spent his early years in Ankara, completed his primary education in Iltekin Primary School and his secondary education in Atatürk Anatolian High School. During his secondary education he represented Turkey at the 39th and 40th International Mathematical Olympiad and was awarded a bronze and a silver medal, respectively.[1]

In 2003, he graduated from Bilkent University Computer Engineering Department by completing his B.Sc. Between 2003-2005, he worked as a research assistant in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Arizona State University in the USA. In the same period, in 2004, he attended a summer school in the Computer Science department at the ETH Zurich. In 2006, at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, he conducted his work with Hristo N. Djidjev entitled "A Scalable and Accurate Graph Clustering and Community Structure Detection".[2] After completing his doctorate study entitled "Overlay Network Construction in Decentralized Networks" at Arizona State University under the supervision of Dr. Andr´ea W. Richa he returned back to Turkey.[3]

Academic career

After returning to Turkey, he worked at TOBB University, Bilkent University and Çankaya University Computer Engineering Departments. He continued his academic life at Bartın University from 2016 until his death.[4]

Death

Melih Onuş was infected during COVID-19 pandemic that broke out globally in 2020, while he was visiting his family in Ankara and died in a hospital in Ankara on 10 September 2020.[5] His father died 3 days after him from the same disease. Both were buried in Ankara Ortaköy Cemetery.[citation needed][6]
