Achi Brandt
Achi Brandt (* 1938 in Givat Brenner , Israel ) is an Israeli mathematician who deals with numerical mathematics.
Brandt received his doctorate in 1965 under Joseph E. Gillis at the Weizmann Institute with a dissertation on numerical methods in hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics. He is a member of the Weizmann Institute and a professor there. He also teaches at the University of California, Los Angeles .
Brandt was visiting professor at Stanford University and the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University .
He is known as one of the pioneers of the multigrid method with work in the 1970s (Full Approximation Scheme, FAS, 1977).
He is a senior scientist and co-founder of the VideoSurf software company , which was acquired by Microsoft in 2011 , and focused on video search.
In 1978 he received the Landau Prize in Mathematics and in 1990 the Rothschild Prize in Mathematics. In 2005 he received the SIAM / ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering.
