Prize History

Citation

The 2026 Julian Cole Lectureship is awarded to Adrian Nachman for his contributions to the mathematical foundations of imaging science and inverse problems, and the impact of his work on medical imaging.

Selection Committee

• Clint Dawson (Chair)
• Rachel Kuske
• Carola Bibiane Schoenlieb

Citation

The 2022 Julian Cole Lectureship is awarded to Michael J. Ward for his seminal and wide-ranging contributions to the development and application of singular perturbation methods effectivein the analysis of spatially localized structures in nonlinear PDEs.

Selection Committee

• John R. King (Chair)
• Trachette Jackson
• Michael J. Miksis

Citation

The 2018 Julian Cole Lectureship is awarded to L. Pamela Cook for her comprehensive mathematical modeling of the structure and dynamics of worm-like micellar solutions. Developed in close collaboration with experiment, this work has had broad influence and application in both industry and the academy, and sets a standard for modeling such multi-component systems.

Citation

The 2014 Julian D. Cole Lectureship is awarded to John Lowengrub in recognition of his seminal contributions to fluid dynamics, materials science, and computational biology through the development of mathematical models, computational methods, and numerical simulations of free-boundary problems and tumor growth.
