Comment: Article as written does not show that they meet WP:PROF. Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences says that they are a fellow of the American Physical Society which, if supported by a reference , would be sufficient. Gusfriend (talk) 10:20, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Stephen William Childress is an American applied mathematician, author and professor emeritus at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He works on classical fluid mechanics, asymptotic methods and singular perturbations, geophysical fluid dynamics,[1] magnetohydrodynamics and dynamo theory, mathematical models in biology, and locomotion in fluids.[2] He is also a co-founder of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences's Applied Mathematics Lab.
