Chi-Wang Shu (Chinese: 舒其望, born 1 January 1957) is the Theodore B. Stowell University Professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University.[1] He is known for his research in the fields of computational fluid dynamics, numerical solutions of conservation laws and Hamilton–Jacobi type equations. Shu has been listed as an ISI Highly Cited Author in Mathematics by the ISI Web of Knowledge.[2]
Career
Shu received his B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, in 1982 and his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1986. His Ph.D. thesis advisor was Stanley Osher.
Shu started his academic career in 1987 as an assistant professor in the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. He was an associate professor from 1992–96 and became full professor in 1996.
Honors and awards
- In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[3]
- In 2009, he was selected as one of the first 183 Fellows of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
- SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering (SIAM/ACM CSE Prize), 2007. He received the prize "for the development of numerical methods that have had a great impact on scientific computing, including TVD temporal discretizations, ENO and WENO finite difference schemes, discontinuous Galerkin methods, and spectral methods."[4]
