Margot Gerritsen receives applied mathematics award
The Stanford Earth professor's research and service to the applied mathematics and computational science community has earned recognition.
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics has named energy resources engineering professor Margot Gerritsen a 2018 SIAM Fellow.
The award recognizes exemplary research as well as outstanding service to the community of professionals and academics in applied mathematics and computational science.
Gerritsen, a professor and senior associate dean in the Stanford School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences (Stanford Earth), was cited for her contributions to numerical methods for compositional and thermal fluid flow processes in porous media, ocean dynamics, and digital stewardship. She is also director of the Institute for Computational & Mathematical Engineering (ICME) in the Stanford School of Engineering.
Gerritsen, along with associate professor of bioengineering and pediatrics Alison Marsden and other 2018 fellows, will receive their awards during the SIAM Annual Meeting July 9-13 in Portland, OR.
