Alfio Quarteroni
Alfio Quarteroni (born May 30, 1952 in Ripalta Cremasca near Cremona ) is an Italian mathematician who deals with numerical mathematics .
Live and act
Quarteroni received his PhD in 1975 from the University of Pavia (as a graduate of the Collegio Ghislieri) with Franco Brezzi (Numerical Analysis of Biharmonic Operators with Hybrid Finite Element Method). In 1975/76 he was at the research center voni Montedison in Novara and then until 1986 researcher at the Istituto di Analisi Numerica of the Italian research association CNR in Pavia . From 1986 to 1989 he was Professor of Numerical Analysis at the Catholic University of Brescia . From 1990 to 1992 he was a math professor at the University of Minnesota . From 1992 to 1998 he was director of the CRS4 (Center for Advanced Research and Development of Sardinia) in Cagliari . Since 1989 he has been Professor of Numerical Analysis at the Polytechnic in Milan and since 2002 he has been the Director of MOX (Modeling and Scientific Computing) there. Since 1998 he has also been Professor of Scientific Computing at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Director of the Institute for Analysis and Scientific Computing at EPFL. Among other things, he was visiting professor at the Laboratory for Numerical Analysis of the CNRS at the University of Paris VI (1979/80, 1985), at the ICASE (Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering) of the NASA Langley Research Center (1982) in Hampton (Virginia) and at the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute in Minneapolis .
Quarteroni is a leading international scientist for scientific computing, particularly in numerical hydrodynamics with applications, for example, in the modeling of fluid flows in the human bloodstream. He was also involved in hydrodynamic simulations for the Swiss America's Cup team from Alinghi (2003) and in a record attempt to circumnavigate the world with a solar airplane by Swiss Bertrand Piccard ( Solar Impulse ).
In 2006 he gave a plenary lecture at the ICM (Cardiovascular Mathematics) and in 2002 he was invited speaker at the ICM in Beijing (Mathematical modeling of the cardiovascular system). In 1992 he received the NASA Group Achievement Award for fundamental work in numerical hydrodynamics and from 1984 to 1988 he was a scientific advisor at NASA Langley Research Center (at the ICASE). In 2003 he received the Agrumello Prize and in 2004 the Outstanding Paper Award from SIAM , of which he has been a fellow since 2009. He has been a member of the Accademia dei Lincei since 2004 and of the Lombard Academy of Sciences since 1995. He is an honorary doctor of shipbuilding from the University of Trieste (2003). In 2006 he received a prize (Fanfullino d´oro della Riconoscenza) from the city of Lodi , where he lives (2009). In 2006 he received the Premio Capo d'Orlando per le scienze. In 2014 he was elected to the Academia Europaea . In 1992 he was invited speaker at the European Congress of Mathematicians (ECM) in Paris ( Mathematical aspects of domain decomposition methods ) and in 2020/21 plenary speaker at the 8th ECM.
He is married and has two daughters.
