******************************************************
The 2011 CAIMS/PIMS Early Career Award in Applied Mathematics
has been awarded to Prof. Adam Oberman, Simon Fraser University
******************************************************

Citation:
For outstanding research contributions in the analysis and
numerical solution of nonlinear PDEs

Short Bio:
Adam Oberman is an exceptional researcher who ranks among the
top young applied mathematicians in the world today.  Oberman
brings his abilities as a mathematical analyst and computational
scientist to bear on some of the most difficult and timely
problems in nonlinear PDEs.  He has made fundamental contributions
to an impressively diverse set of problems in this field, including
numerical methods for nonlinear PDEs, numerical solvers for the
Monge-Ampere equation, and numerical homogenization. His work is
having a profound influence on a number of problems in mathematical
analysis and numerical computing.

Prof. Oberman obtained his PhD from the University of Chicago in
2001.  He was an R. H. Bing Instructor of Mathematics at the
University of Texas at Austin from 2001 to 2004.  He was twice
Second Prize Winner for the Leslie Fox Prize in Numerical Analysis
(2002 and 2005) and recently won the 8th SIAM Monroe H. Martin Prize
for 2011.  He is currently Associate Professor of Mathematics at 
Simon Fraser University.

The award consists of a cash prize of $1,000 and a commemorative
plaque that will be presented at the CAIMS Annual Meeting
in Vancouver in July 2011. Prof. Oberman will deliver a plenary
lecture at the meeting as part of the award ceremony.
