Congratulations to Chancellor's Professor John Lowengrub on being named the SIAM Julian Cole Lecturer for 2014! John was recognized for "seminal contributions to fluid dynamics, materials science, and computational biology through the development of mathematical models, computation methods, and numerical simulations of free-boundary problems and tumor growth." This award is given every four years for an outstanding contribution to the mathematical characterization and solution of a challenging problem in the physical or biological sciences, or in engineering.
