Endre Süli

Endre Süli is Professor of Numerical Analysis at the University of Oxford, where he has maintained a distinguished academic career since 1985. He currently serves as Fellow and Tutor in Mathematics at Worcester College and Supernumerary Fellow at Linacre College. His progression at Oxford includes University Lecturer in Numerical Analysis (1985-1996), Reader in Numerical Analysis (1996-1999), and Professor of Numerical Analysis (1999-present).

Süli completed his B.Sc. in Mathematics at the University of Belgrade (1974-1978), followed by an M.Sc. in Mathematics (1978-1980). As a British Council Visiting Student, he studied at Reading University and Oxford University in 1983/84, earned his Ph.D. from the University of Belgrade in 1985, and received his M.A. from Oxford University in the same year.

Professor Süli's research centers on numerical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations with applications across multiple scientific domains. His work spans free-discontinuity problems and computational modeling of fracture; finite element methods; Navier-Stokes-Fokker-Planck systems; adaptive algorithms with a-posteriori error control; implicitly constituted material models; and discontinuous finite element methods. His research bridges theoretical mathematics with practical computational approaches for complex physical phenomena.

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate Süli's continued leadership in numerical analysis, with focus areas including fractional calculus, stochastic PDEs, and advanced finite element techniques. His work shows strong interdisciplinary connections between mathematical analysis, fluid dynamics, and materials science, addressing challenging problems in polymeric fluids, porous media, and capillary flow modeling.

Professor Süli's distinguished career has been recognized with numerous prestigious honors:

• Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians, Madrid (2006)
• Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (2007)
• Foreign Member of the Serbian National Academy of Sciences and Arts (2009)
• Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences (2010)
• IMA Service Award (2011)
• SIAM Fellow (2016)
• Member of the Academia Europaea (2020)
• London Mathematical Society Naylor Prize and Lectureship (2021)
• Fellow of the Royal Society (2021)

As an educator, Süli has received the Oxford University Teaching Excellence Award (2009) and the Mathematical Institute Teaching Award (2013). He has supervised numerous PhD students and postdoctoral researchers throughout his career, though specific names aren't documented in the available materials. His research has been supported by various grants enabling work on computational methods for partial differential equations. Süli maintains active service to the mathematical community through editorial boards and professional organizations.

Professor Süli is affiliated with the Numerical Analysis research group and the Oxford Centre for Nonlinear PDE at the Mathematical Institute. These research centers provide a collaborative environment for theoretical and applied work on partial differential equations. His research often involves interdisciplinary collaborations with physicists, engineers, and computational scientists to develop and analyze numerical methods for complex physical phenomena.
