 Robert Dirks tragically lost his life in the Metro-North train crash in New York on February 3, 2015. Robert wrote the first lines of code for NUPACK and made indelible contributions to its algorithms. Brilliant, creative, generous, humble, fun-loving, and kind, Robert was a model scientist, collaborator, and friend. Donation's in Robert's honor may be made to the Dirks Prize Fund.
