Beatrice Rivière
Beatrice Marie Riviere is a computational and applied mathematician. She is the Noah Harding Chair and Professor in the department of computational and applied mathematics at Rice University. Her research involves developing efficient numerical methods for modeling fluids flowing through porous media.[1]
Education and career
Rivière earned a diploma in engineering from École Centrale Paris in 1995, and a master's degree in 1996 from the Pennsylvania State University.[1] She moved to the University of Texas at Austin for her doctoral studies, completing her Ph.D. there in 2000. Her dissertation, Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Solving the Miscible Displacement Problem in Porous Media, was supervised by Mary Wheeler.[1][2]
Before joining the Rice University faculty in 2008, she worked as an associate professor of mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh. She was department chair from 2015 to 2018.[3]
In 2018 she was elected chair of the Activity Group on Geosciences (SIAG/GS) of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.[4]
Book
Rivière is the author of the book Discontinuous Galerkin methods for solving elliptic and parabolic equations: theory and implementation (SIAM, 2008).[5]
