Description:
As manager of the Applied Mathematics Research Program at the Department of
Energy, Fred Howes had a clear vision of the dual roles of applied mathematics
and computational simulation---as fundamental research in their own right and as
connections to applications in science and engineering.
Fred's program nurtured and guided a broad spectrum of research at universities and DOE laboratories that has had major impact in both these domains. In honor of Fred's memory, we are organizing a two-day conference to highlight the unifying intellectual themes as well as the mathematical and scientific contributions of research that he sponsored.
The speakers will include researchers supported under Fred's program; the talks will cover topics such as analytical and numerical methods for differential equations, asymptotic analysis, mathematical physics, numerical linear algebra, statistical prediction methods, imaging, material science, turbulence, combustion, and subsurface flows.
