Dr. M. I. G. S. Sampath, Senior Lecturer (Grade II), Department of Mathematical Sciences, participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2026, held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, from July 23 to July 30, 2026.
Dr. Sampath presented a short communication entitled “Transient Analysis of an M/M/1 Feedback Queueing System with Differentiated Vacations, Waiting Server, and Balking.” In addition to presenting his research, he served as a moderator for a session under the theme of Probability.
Dr. Sampath received financial support to attend the conference through a collaborative grant involving the International Mathematical Union (IMU) and the Simons Foundation, with additional support from the American Mathematical Society (AMS). Notably, Dr. Sampath was the only Sri Lankan researcher selected to receive this grant, which supported his participation in the conference and presentation of a short communication.
