(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Uffe Valentin Haagerup was a mathematician from Denmark. Biography Uffe Haagerup was born in Kolding, but grew up on the island of Funen, in the small town of Fåborg. The field of mathematics had his interest from early on, encouraged and inspired by his older brother. In fourth grade Uffe was doing trigonometric and logarithmic calculations. He graduated as a student from Svendborg Gymnasium in 1968, whereupon he relocated to Copenhagen and immediately began his studies of mathematics and physics at the University of Copenhagen, again inspired by his older brother who also studied the same subjects at the same university. Early university studies in Einstein's general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, sparked a lasting interest in the mathematical field of operator algebra, in particular Von Neumann algebra and Tomita–Takesaki theory. In 1974 he received his Candidate's degree from the University of Copenhagen and in 1981 – at the age of 31 – , Uffe was appointed at the University of Odense – now University of Southern Denmark –, as the youngest professor of mathematics in the country at the time. Pregraduate summer schools at the university and later on extended professional research stays abroad, helped him discover and build a diverse and lasting international network of colleagues. Haagerup accidentally drowned on 5 July 2015, aged 65, while swimming in the Baltic Sea close to Fåborg where his family owned a cabin.
