Paris Perdikaris, assistant professor in the department of mechanical engineering and applied mechanics, has been honored with an Early Career Prize from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

Dr. Perdikaris’s prize comes from the SIAM Activity Group on Computational Science and Engineering (SIAG/CSE) and is in recognition of “his work on machine learning using Gaussian processes and neural networks, which has set the foundation for a new paradigm in data-driven and physics-informed scientific computing.” He will present a virtual lecture on the topic at the SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering, held March 1-5.

SIAG/CSE awards an Early Career Prize every two years, recognizing researchers in the field of computational science and engineering who have made influential contributions to their field within seven years of receiving their PhD or equivalent degree.
