The award recognizes exemplary research as well as outstanding service to the community of professionals and academics in applied mathematics and computational science.

Gerritsen, a professor and senior associate dean in the Stanford School of Earth, Energy and Environmental Sciences (Stanford Earth), was cited for her contributions to numerical methods for compositional and thermal fluid flow processes in porous media, ocean dynamics, and digital stewardship. She is also director of the Institute for Computational & Mathematical Engineering (ICME) in the Stanford School of Engineering.

Gerritsen, along with associate professor of bioengineering and pediatrics Alison Marsden and other 2018 fellows, will receive their awards  during the SIAM Annual Meeting July 9-13 in Portland, OR.
