Max Gunzburger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Max D. Gunzburger, Frances Eppes Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Florida State University, is an American mathematician and computational scientist. He is also affiliated with the interdisciplinary School of Computational Science. His research contributions include flow control, finite element analysis, and Voronoi tessellations.
After completing his BS degree at New York University in 1966, Gunzburger earned his Ph.D. degree from the same University in 1969. His thesis, titled Diffraction of shock waves by a thin wing—Symmetric and anti-symmetric problems, was written under the direction of Lu Ting.
He is Editor in Chief of the SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis.
From 1980 to 2001, twenty students completed their Ph.D. degrees under Gunzburger's supervision.
[edit] Publications
He has publshed 129 peer-reviewed articles in scholarly journals (151 according to MathSciNet) . The three most highly cited are
- Qiang Du, Max Gunzburger, and Janet S. Peterson, "Analysis and approximation of the Ginzburg-Landau model of superconductivity", SIAM Review 34 (1992), no 1, 54-81. MR1156289

[edit] Awards
Gunzburger is the winner of the 2008 W.T. and Idalia Reid Prize in Mathematics, an award given for "research in, or other contributions to, the broadly defined areas of differential equations and control theory." [1] [2]
