James Glimm (Chair), Distinguished Professor, Ph.D., 1959, Columbia Univ: Mathematical physics; nonlinear waves
James Glimm has made fundamental contributions to nonlinear analysis—winning the Amer. Math. Soc. Steele Prize— to quantum field theory—winning the American Physical Soc. Heineman Prize—and to computational fluid dynamics.  The Department of Energy adopted Glimm’s front-track methodology for shock-wave calculations, e.g., simulating weapons performance.  Glimm is a member of the Nat. Academy of Science and Academia Sinica and is a recipient of the National Medal of Science.  In 2007-08, he was President of the Amer. Math Soc.

Xiaolin Li, Graduate Director, Professor, Ph.D., 1987, Columbia University: Computational applied mathematics
Xiaolin Li's major research objective is to design and implement a high resolution numerical method, the front tracking method, for the study of fluid interface instabilities such as the Rayleigh-Taylor instability and the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. His research has involved collaborations with scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory and the software has been used for research of various scientific problems such as the inertial confinement fusion and the study of fuel injection nozzle.

Brent Lindquist, Distinguished Teaching Professor, Ph.D., 1982, Cornell University: Computational fluid dynamics;
Brent Lindquist's research is focused on: i) our understanding of the fundamental properties of porous media and the relation of these properties to fluid motion; and ii) establishing limits on the accuracy of fluid movement prediction given practical limits on our understanding of the medium properties.  His research has unexpectedly been used by neuroscientists at Cold Spring Harbor Lab. His research tools involve numerical solution of nonlinear PDEs of mixed type, statistics/probability theory, elements of computational geometry, and image analysis.
