Du Appointed Editor-in-Chief of SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics

Qiang Du has been appointed the Editor-in-Chief of the SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics (SIAP).

"SIAP is an interdisciplinary journal containing research articles that treat scientific problems using methods that are of mathematical interest and it is the founding journal of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). The first volume of the journal appeared in 1953 and the foundations and evolution of applied mathematics can be found within its pages." (SIAM.org)

Prof. Du is also the founding co-Editor-in-Chief of the American Mathematical Society's new journal, Communications of the American Mathematical Society. "The journal will be a natural home for both pure and applied mathematics, presenting a window into a holistic view of mathematics and its applications to a wide range of disciplines. In support of emerging research from mathematicians around the world, the journal will be published via the Diamond Open Access model." (AMS.org blog)

Qiang Du is the Fu Foundation Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics (APAM) in the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) at Columbia University. He is also affiliated with the Data Science Institute (DSI). Professor Du earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Carnegie Mellon University, serves on several editorial boards, and has received multiple awards.  His research interests are in numerical analysis, mathematical modeling and scientific computation with selected applications in physical, biological, and materials sciences, as well as data and information sciences and machine learning.
