معرفی
Beatrice Riviere is the Noah Harding Chair and Professor in the Department of Computational Applied Mathematics and Operations Research at Rice University. Her research focuses on numerical methods for fluid mechanics and porous media, including high-order methods for multiphase flows and biomedical applications. She leads the Computational Optimization and Modeling of Porous Media (COMP-M) group, funded by the NSF and industry partners. Riviere holds an AWM Fellowship (2022), SIAM Fellowship (2021), and IACM Fellowship (2024). She has advised over 20 Ph.D. students, many of whom pursue academic or industry roles in computational science.
- Education: Ph.D. (2000, UT Austin), M.Sc. (1996, Penn State), Diplome d’Ingenieur (1995, Ecole Centrale Lyon).
- Leadership: SIAM Board of Trustees Chair, President of SIAM TX-LA Section (2020-2022), former Department Chair (2015-2018).
- Publications: Over 100 peer-reviewed articles and two books on discontinuous Galerkin methods and numerical analysis.
Her research interests span numerical methods for PDEs, scientific machine learning, and pore-scale modeling. Recent work includes PDE-based neural networks for medical image segmentation and high-performance computing for multiphase flow simulations.
