Carol S. Woodward

Carol Ann San Soucie Woodward is an American computational mathematician who works in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.[1] She was elected as a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) in 2017, "for the development and application of numerical algorithms and software for large-scale simulations of complex physical phenomena".[2]

Carol San Soucie did her undergraduate studies at Louisiana State University (LSU), earning a bachelor's degree in mathematics.[1] Her undergraduate honors thesis at LSU was supervised by Guillermo Ferreyra.[3] She did her graduate studies at Rice University, with Mary Wheeler as her doctoral advisor.[4] When Wheeler moved from Rice to the University of Texas at Austin in 1995, San Soucie moved with her,[5] but she earned her doctorate from Rice in 1996, with a dissertation on Mixed Finite Element Methods for Variably Saturated Flow.[4][6] She joined LLNL in the same year.[1] At LLNL, she is in charge of the SUNDIALS project, a package of time integration and nonlinear equation solving software for use in simulations.[1][7] She also chairs the SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences and co-chairs the Joint Committee on Women in the Mathematical Sciences, which coordinates efforts concerning women in mathematics between eight mathematical societies.[1]
