STM publisher Springer, Germany, has awarded the Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) Prize 2009 to Phuong Huynh, Ngoc-Cuong Nguyen and Gianluigi Rozza for developing the software package rbMIT, used in solving parametrised partial differential equations by the reduced basis method. The rbMIT software package is being used for both research and CSE education. The CSE Prize, established this year by Springer, is accompanied by US$ 10,000.
The CSE Prize recognises the importance of the cross-disciplinary, teamwork-oriented nature of computational science and engineering. The prize will be awarded biannually to teams of scientists, the members of which represent at least two different fields. The winning team is selected by the editors of the Springer book series Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering.
Phuong Huynh is currently a research fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the National University of Singapore. Ngoc-Cuong Nguyen is a research scientist in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Gianluigi Rozza is a senior research scientist in the Chair of Modelling and Scientific Computing and Lecturer at the Doctoral School of Mathematics, both at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland.
