Professor Thomas Hou Receives Ralph E. Kleinman Prize
01-03-23
Thomas Hou, Charles Lee Powell Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics, receives the 2023 Ralph E. Kleinman Prize for “highly original and pioneering research contributions positioned at the meeting point between analytical and computational approaches to partial differential equations with multiscale or singular behavior.” The prize is awarded by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) every two years to one individual for "outstanding research or other contributions that bridge the gap between mathematics and applications." The prize will be awarded at the 10th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM23) at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan in August 2023.

Pushing the Boundaries of Fluid Equations
11-22-22
Thomas Hou, Charles Lee Powell Professor of Applied and Computational Mathematics, and Jiajie Chen (PhD '22) of New York University's Courant Institute, provide a proof that resolves a longstanding open problem for the so-called 3D Euler singularity. Hou and colleagues' combined effort in proving the existence of blowup with the 3D Euler equation is a major breakthrough in its own right, but also represents a huge leap forward in tackling the Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem. If the Navier–Stokes equations could also blow up, it would mean something is awry with one of the most fundamental equations used to describe nature. [Caltech story]
