Catherine Sulem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Catherine Sulem FRSC (born 1957)[1] is a mathematician and violinist at the University of Toronto.

She has completed a monograph "Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation: Self-Focusing Instability and Wave Collapse" together with her brother Pierre-Louis Sulem, which appears in applied Mathematical Sciences.[2]

Awards and honours

[edit]

Sulem is the winner of the fourth Krieger–Nelson Prize, for "important breakthroughs in understanding of many nonlinear phenomena associated with the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the water wave problem".[3] She is also a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[4] In 2015, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.[5] In 2018 the Canadian Mathematical Society listed her in their inaugural class of fellows.[6] In 2019 she gave the AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture, entitled The Dynamics of Ocean Waves, at the 7th ICIAM in Valencia.[7] This lecture is awarded jointly by Association of Women in Mathematics and SIAM. In 2020, Sulem was awarded the CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize, the premier Canadian research prize in the mathematical sciences. She was elected to the 2023 Class of SIAM Fellows.[8]
