Steve Wise is a Professor of Mathematics and Associate Head for Research and Development at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He holds a PhD from the University of Virginia (2003) and has been at UT since 2007. His research focuses on numerical analysis, partial differential equations, and applications in soft matter physics and kinetic theory, with emphasis on developing efficient numerical methods for complex fluid systems and interface dynamics. He is co-author of Classical Numerical Analysis: A Comprehensive Course (Cambridge, 2023).
Education: BS in Mathematics (Clarion University, 1996), MS in Mathematics (Virginia Tech, 1998), PhD in Engineering Physics (University of Virginia, 2003).
Research interests include multi-phase flows, moving boundary problems, nonlinear PDEs, and mathematical biology. He has advised numerous PhD students and has been recognized as a Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher (2020, 2022).
Teaching includes courses on PDEs, numerical analysis, and multigrid methods. His YouTube channel WiseAppliedMaths features lecture series on asymptotic analysis and numerical methods. Recent work includes collaborations on phase-field crystal models, kinetic theory, and energy-stable numerical schemes.
- Key Contributions: Textbook on numerical analysis, development of convex-splitting schemes, energy-stable finite element methods for phase-field systems.
- Labs/Teams: Active in UT’s Mathematics Department research groups, contributing to interdisciplinary initiatives in applied mathematics and computational science.
