| DOE Researchers Named as Fellows of SIAM |
| The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) announced its first class of Fellows on Friday, May 1, and the group included 13 current and retired mathematicians from DOE national laboratories. The society named 183 Fellows from its international membership of more than 12,000 mathematicians. |
| Of the DOE-affiliated fellows, five are from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, four are from Los Alamos National Laboratory, two from Argonne National Laboratory and one from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Additionally, two members of ASCR's Advisory Committee, ASCAC, were among the Fellows named. |
| "The announcement of the first class of SIAM Fellows is an important milestone for the applied mathematics and computational science community," said SIAM President Douglas N. Arnold. "Reflecting the diversity of the SIAM membership, these men and women come from five continents, and work in academia, industry, and government laboratories. Advancing the frontiers of research in branches of mathematics as distinct as number theory and partial differential equations, these professionals have applied their work to endeavors ranging from mining to medicine. They have designed algorithms to make computing possible and written textbooks to train the next generation of mathematicians. Their contributions are truly outstanding." |
