David E. Keyes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Elliot Keyes (born December 4, 1956 in Brooklyn ) is an American computer scientist, applied mathematician and engineer.

Keyes received his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering from Princeton University in 1978 and a master's degree in applied mathematics from Harvard University in 1979 , where he received his PhD in applied mathematics from Donald Anderson in 1984 (dissertation: Numerical Modeling of Steady, Laminar Free -Convective Boundary Layer Flow Beneath Heated or Combusting Horizontal Surfaces ). He taught at Yale University (Assistant Professor 1986, Associate Professor 1990), Old Dominion University in Norfolk (Virginia) and Columbia University , where he was Fu Foundational Professor of Applied Mathematics from 2003 to 2011 and then Adjunct Professor.

He has been a professor at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and director of its Extreme Computing Center since 2009 .

He deals with the numerical solution of partial differential equations on massive parallel computers and related software issues. Among other things, he dealt with Newton-Krylov-Schwarz (NKS) and Additive Schwarz Preconditioned Inexact Newton (ASPIN) algorithms and Algebraic Fast Multipole Methods (AFM), with domain decomposition algorithms and the simulation of combustion processes, magnetohydrodynamics (with applications in geophysics), radiation transport , Heat transfer in aerodynamics and modeling of computer performance. He was at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, in the 1990s.

In 2007 he received the Sidney Fernbach Award . He received a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation in 1989 and is a Fellow of SIAM and the American Mathematical Society (2012). In 1999 he received the Gordon Bell Prize from the IEEE Computer Society.
