ICIAM Lagrange Prize 2023 awarded to Alfio Quarteroni

MOX Director Prof. Alfio Quarteroni has been awarded with the 2023 Lagrange prize by ICIAM, the International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.

The Lagrange Prize was established to provide international recognition to individual mathematicians who have made an exceptional contribution to applied mathematics throughout their careers. It is awarded every 4 years.

Previous recipients are:
2019 – George Papanicolau
2015 – Andrew J. Majda
2011 – Alexandre J. Chorin
2007 – Joseph Keller
2003 – Enrico Magenes
1999 – Jacques-Louis Lions

The 2023 ICIAM Lagrange Prize is awarded to Alfio Quarteroni for his ground-breaking work in finite element and spectral methods, domain decomposition methods, discontinuous Galerkin methods, numerical solution of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, multiphysics and multiscale modeling - with application to fluid dynamics, geophysics, the human heart and circulatory system, the Covid-19 epidemic, as well as improvement of sports performance for the America's Cup sailing competition. 

The 2023 ICIAM Lagrange Prize will be awarded at the Opening Ceremony of the International Congress for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, ICIAM 2023, to be held in Tokyo (Japan), on August 20-25, 2023.
