 ICTP has played an important role in opening up my mind to mathematics, to science in general. After my diploma program, I was able to stay here for a PhD. It was very important in my career because I was able not only to pursue my research in the area that I was doing, but also to meet many people, to have a good network of people that I can work with in the future. I can say that my various sayings in the centre have enabled me to broaden my collaborations and to discover new research topics. ICTP is one of the main places, I would say, in the world in which people from developing countries can come to stay in a very good environment to do research. Yeah, I think ICTP has been and is and will play a very important role in the future of science. ICTP has helped me and has sharpened my scientific work and enhanced my career by putting me under the international arena. Without ICTP, I would not get there. By deciding to reorient training towards science, technology, engineering and mathematics, my country, Senegal, has understood the importance of basic science and particularly mathematics. It is why I want to make an effort to support your centre to create the emulation between young development mathematicians in developing countries by distinguishing the best among the best. I think ICTP, I would say, has a very, very important impact in my career so far.
