Chalk up another award for rising Simon Fraser University mathematics star Adam Oberman.
The Vancouver resident's latest accolade is the second annual Early Career Award in Applied Mathematics from the Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society (CAIMS) and Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS).
Oberman, an associate professor in math, joined SFU in 2004 and ranks among the world’s top young applied mathematicians. He has brought his abilities to bear as a mathematical analyst and computational scientist on some of the most difficult and timely problems in nonlinear partial differential equations, or PDEs.
“This award recognizes his stellar accomplishments,” says PIMS director Alejandro Ádem. “It is also an indication of the outstanding research program in mathematics at Simon Fraser University." For more: www.pims.math.ca.
