Call for Nominations

SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems J. D. Crawford Prize

The SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems will present the J. D. Crawford Prize at the SIAM Conference on Applications of Dynamical Systems to be held at Snowbird (DS09), May 17 - 21, 2009.

The Crawford Prize is awarded every two years for recent outstanding work on a topic in dynamical systems and nonlinear science, as evidenced by a publication in English in a peer-reviewed journal within the four calendar years preceding the award date. The term "nonlinear science" is used in the spirit of the SIAG/DS meetings; specifically it includes dynamical systems theory and its applications as well as experiments and computations/simulations.

Eligibility

The research of the candidate must contain significant contributions to the field of nonlinear science, as evidenced by a publication in English in a peer-reviewed journal bearing an electronic publication date within the award period, that is, within the calendar years 2005-2008.

Description of the Award

The award will consist of a plaque, a certificate containing the citation, and a cash award of $750. SIAM will reimburse the recipient's travel expenses to attend the conference and receive the award.

Previous recipients: Bjorn Sandstede (2001), Yannis G. Kevrekidis (2003), Dwight Barkley (2005), Andrew Stuart (2007).
