Stanley Osher, Professor at the UCLA university, serves as the Director of Special Projects within the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics.
He has invented innovative numerical technologies and has applied them tonearly all fields of numerical simulation, from aeronautics to material science and from brain science to the movie industry.
Among his inventions,three have become universal:the level set method, the ENO and WENO schemes and the total variation. For instance, the joint key words "level set" and "method" find more than one million hits on Google and they are all about the Osher-Sethian surface evolution method.
