7/2/2010 -- Congratulations to Heaviside Wealth Management Awardee!
Congratulations to Pascal Getreuer, who received the Heaviside Wealth Management Award for Outstanding Graduate Student Research. Math alumnus Alan Gillette, PhD '06, established the annual award this year to be given to a graduate student who excels in the presentation of original research. The award is named in honor of Oliver Heaviside, a 19th century mathematician and physicist, who at the age of 23 tackled Maxwell's two-volume compendium, A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism. Heaviside independently refined Maxwell's work, distilling 20 equations of 20 unknowns down to four partial differential equations known as Maxwell's Equations. Awardee Getreuer presented his work on "Image Processing with Optimization Techniques."
