Mathematicians Receive Distinguished Awards from International Applied Mathematics Society

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) has announced 10 recipients of prestigious prizes that will be awarded at the SIAM Annual Meeting, taking place in hybrid format from July 11-15, 2022, in Pittsburgh, PA. Awardees will be recognized during the conference.

The SIAM Annual Meeting provides a broad view of the state of the art in applied mathematics, computational science, and their applications through invited presentations, prize lectures, minitutorials, minisymposia, contributed presentations, and posters. The I. E. Block Community Lecture, to be given by Kristin Lauter of Meta AI Research on the topic of artificial intelligence and cryptography, is free and open to the public. The talk, which is intended to encourage public appreciation of the excitement and vitality of science by reaching students, teachers, and members of the local community, will be livestreamed. More details will be available in coming months.  

SIAM congratulates these prize recipients for their hard work, dedication, and impressive contributions, which strengthen and enhance the landscape of applied mathematics and computational science worldwide. SIAM would also like to thank all the nominators who recognized their colleagues for their accomplishments.
