- Professor Stanley Osher has won the SIAM Kleinman Prize
for his many contributions to the
analysis and computation of hyperbolic equations and their applications in
science and engineering, and for his mentoring of young scientists and
service to the scientific community. His many innovations in numerical
schemes for conservation laws and Hamilton-Jacobi equations and in the
development of the level set method and its applications have had enormous
impact across disciplinary boundaries in image processing, control, flow
simulation, and many other fields.
