Assyr Abdulle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Assyr Abdulle (born January 19, 1971 in Geneva ) is a Swiss mathematician who specializes in numerical mathematics.

Abdulle received his PhD in mathematics under Gerhard Wanner (and Ernst Hairer ) at the University of Geneva in 2001 ( Chebyshev methods based on orthogonal polynomials ). He also holds a degree in violin and music from the Geneva Conservatory (1993). In 2001/02 he was a post-doctoral student at Princeton University and in 2002/03 at the Computational Laboratory (Colab) at ETH Zurich . In 2003 he became Assistant Professor at the University of Basel and in 2007 Lecturer and one year later Associate Professor at the University of Edinburgh . He is a full professor for Computational Mathematics and Numerical Analysis at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).

He is concerned with modeling and numerical simulation of physical multi-scale processes with applications in biology, chemistry, materials science, flows in porous media and medicine.

He solved a long open conjecture by VI Lebedev about rigid differential equation systems and developed the so-called ROCK methods (Orthogonal Runge-Kutta-Chebychev) to solve it.

In 2009 he received the James H. Wilkinson Prize .
