Citation

The 2017 AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture is awarded to Liliana Borcea for distinguished scientific contributions to the mathematical and numerical analysis of wave propagation in random media, array imaging in complex environments, and inverse problems in high-contrast electrical impedance tomography, as well as model reduction techniques for parabolic and hyperbolic partial differential equations.

Citation

The 2016 AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture is awarded to Lisa J. Fauci for pioneering contributions to mathematical and computational modeling of aquatic locomotion, microorganism motility, and fluid dynamics of human reproduction. Her career combines rigorous asymptotic analysis and biological data to validate computational models, a history of service to the community, and a lasting legacy of mentoring early career scientists.
