"Barry Smith named SIAM Fellow"

Barry Smith (MCS), senior computational mathematician, was recently named a 2012 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Fellow.

He is recognized for "contributions in formulating a theoretical framework for domain decomposition, developing and implementing advanced solvers in the powerful software package PETSc, and simulating complex scientific and engineering phenomena on massively parallel architectures."

Smith's area of research includes parallel computing and the numerical solution of PDEs. Smith has organized short courses and presented talks and lectures at SIAM meetings.

He will be honored at the SIAM Annual Meeting to be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota in July 2012.
