Marsha
Berger and Sylvia Serfaty have been invited to speak at the
2019 International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematics in Valencia,
Spain.
Denis Zorin has received the 2019 Computer Graphics Achievement Award "in recognition of his fundamental contributions to computer graphics and geometric modeling."
Marsha Berger will be awarded the 2019 Norbert Wiener Prize in Applied Mathematics for her fundamental contributions to adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) and to Cartesian mesh techniques for automating the simulation of compressible flows in complex geometry. Congratulations, Marsha!
