SIAM names 183 Fellows for key contributions to applied mathematics and computational science

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is pleased to announce the SIAM Fellows Class of 2009 and the inauguration of the SIAM Fellows Program. Fellowship is an honorific designation conferred on members distinguished for their outstanding contributions to the fields of applied mathematics and computational science. During this inaugural year of the program, SIAM will confer Fellows status on 183 noteworthy professionals who will be recognized during the 2009 SIAM Annual Meeting in Denver, Colorado.

"The announcement of the first class of SIAM Fellows is an important milestone for the applied mathematics and computational science community," said SIAM President Douglas N. Arnold. "Reflecting the diversity of the SIAM membership, these men and women come from five continents, and work in academia, industry, and government laboratories. Advancing the frontiers of research in branches of mathematics as distinct as number theory and partial differential equations, these professionals have applied their work to endeavors ranging from mining to medicine. They have designed algorithms to make computing possible and written textbooks to train the next generation of mathematicians. Their contributions are truly outstanding."

The distinction of SIAM Fellow in 2009 is bestowed upon members who meet at least one of the following criteria:

• Members of select national academies in countries where SIAM members constitute at least 1% of total SIAM membership;
• Recipients of select SIAM and International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) prizes;
• Present and past fellows of select corporate and laboratory programs at SIAM institutional member organizations (programs whose selection procedures are well-correlated with the goals of the SIAM Fellows Program);
• Editors-in-Chief of SIAM journals since 1998; and
• Former and current presidents of SIAM.

Following 2009, the anticipated number of fellowships conferred annually will be approximately 0.3 percent of the number of regular SIAM members. For additional information about the SIAM Fellows Program and for nomination information, please visit http://www.siam.org/prizes/fellows/index.php.
