Karen Willcox
Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics
Karen is also Co-Director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Center for Computational Engineering and formerly the Associate Head of the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Her research at MIT has produced scalable methods for model reduction and new multifidelity formulations for design under uncertainty. Karen will be presenting the Stewartson Memorial Lecture at BAMC 2017.
Beth Wingate
Professor of Mathematics at the University of Exeter
Beth's research interests are mainly in fluid mechanics, mathematics, and numerics for high performance computing. Her recent research is focused on physics of the Arctic Ocean, Aymptotic Parallel-in-Time methods for climate modeling and High Performance Computing, and the fluid mechanics of the slow/fast manifolds. Beth will be presenting the IMA Lighthill Lecture at BAMC 2017.
