It is with great sadness that the University reports the death of Stanimir Nikolov, a postgraduate student within Warwick’s Complexity Science Doctoral Training Centre. Our thoughts are with Stanimir’s friends and family at this time.

The Vice-Chancellor Professor Nigel Thrift said: "This sudden death brings great sadness to all of us in the University community. Stanimir’s contributions to academic discussion were always measured, considered, and thoughtful and he will be missed. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.”

University staff and support professionals are working to support those students who were close to Stanimir. If you would like to speak to someone at this time, there are a number of support services available. The Student Support Services website gives more details.

There is now a book of condolence available to sign in the Chaplaincy.
