Aslak Tveito, PhD, (born 17 February 1961) is a Norwegian scientist within the field of numerical analysis and scientific computing. Tveito is the Managing Director (CEO) of Simula Research Laboratory,[1] a Norwegian research center owned by the Norwegian Government, and he is Professor of Scientific Computing at the University of Oslo.

Career

Tveito has been with Simula Research Laboratory since its establishment in 2001 and has had the position as Managing Director since 2002. In addition to his position as head of the company, he has held several leading roles within the field of Scientific Computing and in his time at the lab the scientific computing activities at Simula have been awarded the top grade, Excellent, in all international evaluations in their lifetime (2001-2015).[2][3][4] 

In parallel with his work at Simula Research Laboratory, Tveito has held a professorship at the University of Oslo. He was promoted to Professor in Numerical Analysis at the Department of Informatics in 1994. Tveito is currently on 80% leave from this position.

In addition to his roles at the University of Oslo and Simula Research Laboratory, Tveito held the position as Chief Scientist at the Applied Mathematics department at SINTEF for the period 1993 to 1997, after being in the role as research scientist at the same department since 1991.

Tveito was co-founder and board member of the company Numerical Objects from 1997 to 2001; a company that commercialized the Diffpack software. Tveito was also the chairman of the board of Simula Innovation (2006-2008), Kalkulo (2006-2008), Simula School of Research and Innovation (2007-2010) and Simula@UiB (2016-).

Tveito’s formal education is from the Department of Informatics, University of Oslo. He holds a MSc degree from 1985 and PhD degree from 1988, both within the field of Numerical Analysis focusing on numerical solution of partial differential equations.

Tveito is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences.[5]

Research

Tveito's research has covered a broad range of disciplines, including the numerical solution of linear systems arising from the discretization of partial differential equations, the numerical and mathematical analysis of hyperbolic conservation laws, mathematical models of two-phase flow, upscaling, nonlinear water waves, the numerical solution of the Black-Scholes equations, parallel computing for partial differential equations, and numerical software tools. His early career work focused on numerical analysis, before shifting to a stronger focus on software and computing tools, including parallel computing, and also into applications of computational models in numerous scientific disciplines.

Since 2005 he has worked almost exclusively on mathematical and computational issues related to understanding the electrophysiology of the heart. He is currently involved in the newly established Centre for Integrative Neuroplasticity (CINPLA) at the University of Oslo.

Authorship

Tveito has co-authored two research monographs [1, 2] and two textbooks in scientific computing [3,4]. He has co-edited seven books, and has published more than 100 papers in international journals, collections, and proceedings. A complete publication list can be found at Google Scholar.

Tveito is on the editorial board of Encyclopedia of Applied and Computational Mathematics.[6]
