Radunskaya (left) present Catherine Sulem of the University of Toronto with the 2019 AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture prize at the 9th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics, held in Valencia, Spain, this July. Sulem was acknowledged for her contributions to nonlinear analysis and partial differential equations (PDEs), specializing in the topic of singularity development in solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, on the problem of free surface water waves, and on Hamiltonian PDEs. Sulem’s associated lecture was titled “The Dynamics of Ocean Waves.” SIAM photo.

The award is given jointly by SIAM and ETH Zürich, and noted E’s breakthrough contributions in various fields of applied mathematics and scientific computing, particularly nonlinear stochastic (partial) differential equations, computational fluid dynamics, computational chemistry, and machine learning. E spoke to conference attendees about “Machine Learning: Mathematical Theory and Scientific Applications” in his corresponding prize lecture. SIAM photo.
