Russel E. Caflisch is the Director and Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute, New York University. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the Courant Institute (1978), an M.S. from the same institute (1977), and a B.S. in Mathematics from Michigan State University (1975). His research focuses on applied mathematics, PDEs, fluid dynamics, plasma physics, materials science, Monte Carlo methods, and computational finance. Notable contributions include work on vortex dynamics, epitaxial growth modeling via level set methods, and financial derivatives pricing using simulation-based approaches. Recent articles address vortex layer stability, compressed modes for variational problems, and hybrid methods for plasma collision simulations. His work has been recognized through extensive publications in top journals like Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, and Journal of Computational Physics.
Caflisch’s research bridges theoretical analysis and computational methods, with applications spanning fluid mechanics, materials science, and finance. He has pioneered numerical techniques for simulating complex systems, including rarefied gas dynamics and thin film growth. His leadership at the Courant Institute underscores his role in advancing applied mathematics research and education.
