- Prof. David Keyes will receive the IEEE Computer Society's 2007 Sidney Fernbach Award at the November Supercomputing'07 Conference in Reno, NV. The award is given annually to an individual for an outstanding contribution in the application of high performance computers using innovative approaches. Keyes' citation reads: "for outstanding contributions to the development of scalable numerical algorithms for the solution of nonlinear partial differential equations and exceptional leadership in high-performance computation." (August 2007)
- Prof. Gerald A. Navratil and Dr. Andrea M. Garofalo share the 2007 APS Dawson Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics with Dr. Edward J. Strait of General Atomics and Dr. Michio Okabayashi of Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. The recipients will receive the award for "Experiments that demonstrated the stabilization of the resistive wall mode and sustained operation of a tokamak above the conventional free boundary stability limit" this coming November. (June 2007)
- The Institute of Physics (IOP) Publishing chose the article by Gideon Simpson, Prof. Marc Spiegelman and Prof. Michael I. Weinstein, titled “Degenerate dispersive equations arising in the study of magma dynamics” published in the journal Nonlinearity, Volume 20, 2007, for inclusion in IOP Select, a special collection of journal articles selected by IOP Journal editors. IOP select articles are chosen based on one or more the following criteria: substantial advances or significant breakthroughs, a high degree of novelty, and significant impact on future research. Gideon Simpson is a fourth year graduate student working with Prof. Spiegelman and Prof. Weinstein on microscopic and macroscopic modeling of fluid-solid dynamics in the earth’s interior. Initially, funded by the APAM’s IGERT Fellowship Program, Simpson and this collaboration are now supported by the NSF’s Collaboration in Mathematical Geosciences (CMG) Program.
