I am deeply saddened by Maruf's passing. I used to work with Maruf in the EM team for three years and he was the one who brought me into this EM world as a supervisor, a mentor, a friend and a big brother. He was such a passionate, humorous, generous and knowledgeable person with a true character. We laughed, argued, talked and drank together. Maruf had a great impact on my professional life and meant a lot to me. My deepest condolences to Maruf's family. He remains a figure in our hearts and we will miss you.
