Call for Nominations
SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems J. D. Crawford Prize
The SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems will present the J. D. Crawford Prize at the SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems (DS11), to be held May 22-26, 2011, in Snowbird, Utah.
The prize is awarded every two years to one individual for recent outstanding work on a topic in nonlinear science, as evidenced by a publication in English in a peer-reviewed journal within the four calendar years preceding the year of the award. The term "nonlinear science" is used in the spirit of the SIAG/DS metings; specifically it includes dynamical systems theory and its applications, as well as experiments and computations/simulations.
Eligibility
The research of the candidate must contain significant contributions to the field of nonlinear science, as evidenced by a publication in English in a peer-reviewed journal bearing an electronic publication date within the award period, that is, within the calendar years 2007-2010.
Description of the Award
The award will consist of a plaque, a certificate containing the citation, and a cash award of $750. SIAM will reimburse the recipient's reasonable travel expenses to attend the conference to receive the award.
