Douglas N. Arnold is the McKnight Presidential Professor of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. His work bridges numerical analysis, partial differential equations, and mathematical physics, with foundational contributions to finite element exterior calculus and wave localization in disordered media.
Research Interests center on structure-preserving numerical methods for physical simulations, including:
- Finite element exterior calculus (FEEC), a groundbreaking framework for stable discretization of PDEs
- Wave localization phenomena in disordered media, applied to sustainable LED design
- Computer simulations of complex systems from elastic deformations to black hole collisions
Scientific Awards:
- Peter Henrici Prize (2023) - Recognized for "fundamental contributions of extraordinary originality, depth, and impact to finite element analysis of PDEs"
Leadership Roles:
- President of SIAM (2009-2010)
- Director of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (2001-2008)
- Principal Investigator of the Simons Collaboration on Localization of Waves
Outreach Achievements:
Co-creator of the award-winning educational video Möbius Transformations Revealed, which has garnered over 2 million views and won the NSF/Science Visualization Challenge (2007).
