Prof. Zhiming Chen Elected as the 2022 SIAM Fellow

Prof. Zhiming Chen was elected as the 2022 SIAM (The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) Fellow for his significant contributions to adaptive finite element methods, multiscale analysis and computation, and seismic imaging.

 Prof. Zhiming Chen’s research areas are numerical analysis and scientific computing. He has made significant achievements in the study of adapt finite element method, multiscale finite element method for fluid problems in inhomogeneous porous media, perfectly matched layer method for wave-propagation problems in unbounded domains, and the source-transfer domain decomposition method for high-frequence scattering problems. He received Feng Kang Scientific Computing Prize in 2001, the Second National Natural Science Prize in 2009 and the Shiing S. Chern Mathematics Award in 2015. He was elected as the Member of CAS (the Chinese Academy of Sciences) in 2017.He was also the invited speaker of International Congress of Mathematicians, Madrid, Spain in 2006. He is now the Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Computational Mathematics, Member of the editorial board of Numerische Mathematik and SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, etc.

 SIAM is an international community, which exists to ensure the strongest interactions between mathematics and other scientific and technological communities through membership activities, publication of journals and books, and conferences. SIAM named 26 academics and professionals to its 2022 Class of Fellows for their outstanding contributions to applied mathematics and computational science through research in the field and service to the larger community on March, 31, 2022.
