Glowinski's scientific training began at the Ecole Polytechnique. In 1963, he received a master's degree in electrical engineering from Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications. He completed a doctorate in mathematics in 1970 from the University Pierre and Marie Curie, where he was supervised by Jacques-Louis Lions. His scientific activity was mostly dedicated to the variational approach for the solution of problems modeled by partial differential equations and inequalities, most of these problems being related to applications from mechanics, physics, engineering sciences, and life sciences. Glowinski coupled relentless curiosity, patience, and willingness to listen with a natural ability to collaborate with people across a wide spectrum of scientific and engineering disciplines. This gift helped him amass an impressive international network of colleagues and friends. During his career, he authored 10 books and more than 450 scientific articles and served on several editorial boards. He enjoyed his role as advisor to numerous students and postdoctoral fellows, taking pleasure in watching the development of their careers. Over the course of his career, Professor Glowinski was recognized at every level, university, national, and international. He was both a SIAM Fellow and an AMS Fellow. In each case, he was in the inaugural class of fellows. He was associated with several international organizations, including the Academia Europea, the French National Academy of Sciences, and the French National Academy of Technology. He was a Knight of the French Order of the Legion d'Honneur and an Officer of the French Order of the Academic Palms and French Order of National Merit. Most recently, Glowinski received the SIAM 2020 W.T. and Idalia Reid Prize. The award recognized his work in differential equations and control theory. Receiving the award was special to him as his mentor Lions received the Reid Prize in 1998. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Francoise Tisseur [log in to unmask] Date: January 29, 2022 Subject: Call for Nominations, Householder Prize for Best PhD Thesis The 2022 Householder Award for the best PhD thesis in numerical linear algebra, for a PhD earned between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2021, will be presented at the XXI Householder Symposium on Numerical Linear Algebra held from 12-17 June 2022 at hotel Sierra Silvana, Selva di Fasano, Italy.
