Rice University computational and applied mathematician Beatrice Riviere has been selected as a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). Riviere is among 28 new fellows announced this week by the 14,000-member society.
Selection as a fellow is an honor the society reserves for its most distinguished members. Riviere, Rice’s Noah Harding Chair and Professor in the Department of Computational and Applied Mathematics, was selected for “contributions in numerical analysis, scientific computing and modeling of porous media.”
Much of Riviere’s research involves developing accurate and efficient algorithms to model flow and transport in porous media, as well as studying aspects of numerical analysis, partial differential equations, discontinuous Galerkin methods, computational fluid dynamics and mathematical biology. She is the author of more than 100 scientific publications in numerical analysis and scientific computation, and her book on the th
