Joseph Teran

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joseph Teran (* 1977 ) is an American mathematician who deals with numerical solution of partial differential equations and computer graphics . He is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Ternan received his bachelor's degree from the University of California, Davis in 2000 and his PhD from Stanford University with Ronald Fedkiw in 2005 (Novel Finite Element Algorithms With Applications To Skeletal Muscle Simulation). As a post-doctoral student , he was at the Courant Institute . In 2007 he became an Assistant Professor and in 2011 an Associate Professor at UCLA. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .

He deals with the modeling of elastic objects (such as hair, muscles, skin) and fluids, for example for film animation, biomechanics and virtual surgery.

In 2011 he received a Presidential Early Career Award and in 2010 a Young Investigator Award from the Office of Naval Research. In 2008, Discover Magazine selected him among the 40 Most Innovative Scientists Under 40.
