Ann S. Almgren is an American applied mathematician who works as a senior scientist and group leader of the Center for Computational Sciences and Engineering at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Her primary research interests are in computational algorithms for solving PDE's for fluid dynamics in a variety of application areas. Her current projects include the development and implementation of new multiphysics algorithms in high-resolution adaptive mesh codes that are designed for the latest multicore architectures.^[1]

Education and career

Almgren is the daughter of mathematician Frederick J. Almgren, Jr. and his first wife, Beverly Stewart.^[2] She earned a bachelor's degree in physics from Harvard University in 1984 and a master's degree in mechanical engineering from University of California, Berkeley in 1987. Her doctoral degree in mechanical engineering was completed in 1991 at UC Berkeley under the direction of Phillip Colella with a dissertation titled A Fast Adaptive Vortex Method in Three Dimensions.^[3] After visiting the Institute for Advanced Study, she joined the applied mathematics group of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 1992, and moved to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1996.^[4]

Recognition

In 2015 she became a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics "for contributions to the development of numerical methods for fluid dynamics and applying them to large-scale scientific and engineering problems."^[5] She also serves on the editorial boards of SIREV^[6] and CAMCoS^[7]
