Heather Wilber wins the Householder Prize in Numerical Linear Algebra
Heather, who is now a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas’ Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences, completed her Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Alex Townsend (Department of Mathematics) at Cornell’s Center for Applied Math. She earned her M.S. in Applied Math at Boise State University with Professor Grady Wright. The Householder Prize is awarded to the best PhD thesis in Numerical Linear Algebra in recent years, as judged by a committee. The Householder Prize, given every three years, was established at the 1969 Gatlinburg Symposium (now renamed the... Read more
