The ICIAM Prizes for 2011Professor Rolf Jeltsch, President of the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) today announced the winners of the five ICIAM prizes. The prize winners are: ICIAM Collatz Prize: Emmanuel J. Candès (Stanford&Pasadena, USA) Emmanuel J. Candès of Stanford University and of the California Institute of Technology is awarded the 2011 ICIAM Collatz Prize in recognition of his outstanding contributions to numerical solution of wave propagation problems and compressive sensing, as well as anisotropic extensions of wavelets. The Collatz Prize was established to provide international recognition to individual scientists under 42 years of age for outstanding work on industrial and applied mathematics. It carries a cash award of USD 1000. This prize was created on the initiative of ICIAM member society GAMM, and was first awarded in 1999. The Collatz Prize is presently funded by GAMM. ICIAM Lagrange Prize: Alexander J. Chorin (Berkeley, USA) Alexander J. Chorin of University of California Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory receives the 2011 ICIAM Lagrange Prize in recognition of his fundamental and original contributions to applied mathematics,fluid mechanics, statistical mechanics, and turbulence modelling. His methods for the numerical solution of NavierStokes equations stand at the basis of the most popular codes in computational fluid mechanics.The Lagrange Prize was established to provide international recognition to individual mathematicians who have made an exceptional contribution to applied mathematics throughout their career. It carries a cash award of USD 3000. This prize was created on the initiative of ICIAM member societies SMAI, SEMA and SIMAI and first awarded in 1999. The Lagrange Prize is presently funded by the three member societies SMAI, SEMA and SIMAI. ICIAM Maxwell Prize: Vladimir Rokhlin (New Haven, USA) Vladimir Rokhlin of Yale University has been selected for the 2011 ICIAM Maxwell Prize for his work on fast multipole methods which have revolutionized fields like numerical electromagnetism for radar and molecular dynamics for chemistry. The Maxwell Prize was established to provide international recognition to a mathematician who has demonstrated originality in applied mathematics. It carries a cash award of USD 1000. This prize was created on the initiative of ICIAM member society IMA (with support also from the J. C.Maxwell Society), and first awarded in 1999. The Maxwell Prize is presently funded by IMA. ICIAM Pioneer Prize: James Albert Sethian (Berkeley, USA) James Albert Sethian of the University of California Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory receives the 2011 ICIAM Pioneer Prize for his fundamental methods and algorithms which have had a large impact in applications such as in imaging and shape recovery in medicine, geophysics and tomography and drop dynamics in inkjets. The Pioneer Prize was established for pioneering work introducing applied mathematical methods and scientific computing techniques to an industrial problem area or a new scientific field of applications. It carries a cash award of USD 1000. This prize was created on the initiative of ICIAM member society SIAM, and was first awarded in 1999. The Pioneer Prize is presently funded by SIAM. ICIAM Su Buchin Prize: Edward Lungu (Gabarone, Botswana) Edward Lungu of the University of Botswana receives the 2011 ICIAM Su Buchin Prize for his mathematical modelling of problems related to Africa and his fundamental contribution to developing teaching, research and organizational structures for applied mathematics in Southern Africa. The Su Buchin Prize was established to provide international recognition of an outstanding contribution by an individual in the application of mathematics to emerging economies and human development, in particular at the economic and cultural level in developing countries. It carries a cash award of USD 1000. This prize was created on the initiative of ICIAM member society CSIAM,and is being awarded for the second time. The Su Buchin Prize is presently funded by CSIAM.

Prize Presentation The prizes will be awarded at the Opening Ceremony of the International Congress for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, ICIAM 2011, to be held 1822 July 2011 in Vancouver, BC, Canada (see website at http://www.iciam2011.com/). The four-yearly ICIAM Congress is a major international celebration of mathematics in action, and it is the main event in the applied mathematics calendar.

Candès (Stanford&Pasadena, USA) Emmanuel Candès is a professor on mathematics and statistics at Stanford University, on leave from the department of Applied and Computational Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology. He was born in 1970 in Paris, France. He received his diploma as an engineer from the École Polytechnique France in 1993 and the M.Sc. in applied mathematics from the Universities Paris VI and Paris IX in 1994. In 1998 he earned the Ph.D. from Stanford University. Emmanuel Candès has accomplished various deep and brilliant mathematical works. First, in joint work with L. Demanet, he proposed and mathematically justified the first linear complexity method for the fast numerical solution of wave propagation problems. The analysis involved the proof that, within a curvelet representation, the propagation operator for the associated evolution problem is approximately equivalent to a permutation matrix, and that the compressed representation of the operator can be computed in O(N) operations. The significance of this result is only now beginning to be explored. Then, in compressive sensing, together with David Donoho, Justin Romberg and Terence Tao, he developed a spectacular advance based on harmonic analysis, approximation theory and optimization. This result has been widely applied to image processing, sensor design, control and many other fields. He identified the fundamental role of the restricted isometry property (RIP) in compressive sensing. He has also a major contribution to anisotropic extensions of wavelets, which has deeply advanced both applications and mathematical theory. In fact, concepts such as ridgelets, curvelets, chirplets and so on, are his inventions. His work is highly innovative and shows off well his mathematically sophisticated talent. We are confident that it impacts widelyranged fields of application. It should also be mentioned that he has served as the Ph.D. or the postdoctoral advisor for a number of excellent young mathematicians and that he himself performs as an important leader of cientific research. ICIAM Lagrange Prize: Alexander J. Chorin (Berkeley, USA) Alexander J. Chorin is a professor of mathematics at the University of California Berkeley and also a member of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He was born in Warsaw, Poland, on 25 June 1938. He graduated from École Polytechnique Fédérale (EPFL) of Lausanne, Switzerland. He then received his M.S. and his Ph.D. from the Courant Institute of New York University.
