Rajendran GS4 Receives Grimm Memorial Prize

Fourth-year Chemical and Biological Engineering Ph.D. student Karthikeyan Rajendran has been named as one of three 2012 recipients of the Ray Grimm Memorial Prize.  Rajendran, who is working with Professor Yannis Kevrekidis, was recognized with the $4,000 prize, “for his ingenious and innovative combination of modeling and scientific computing tools, from nonlinear dynamics, multiscale modeling, optimization and uncertainty quantification with ideas from graph theory towards the model reduction of complex evolving network dynamics.”   The prize honors advanced graduate students who have demonstrated significant achievement in computational physics, and was established in 1985 in honor of Ray Grimm, a talented and popular scientist and teacher.
