Linda J. S. Allen is the first Texas Tech faculty member to receive the honor.
Linda J. S. Allen, a Paul Whitfield Horn Professor in the Texas Tech University Department of Mathematics & Statistics, has been named a member of the 2016 Class of Fellows from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
“Dr. Allen is the first SIAM Fellow Texas Tech University has had,” said Magdalena Toda, chairwoman of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics. “This represents a great honor for Texas Tech University, and it adds to the high scientific profile and reputation of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics, and the College of Arts & Sciences.”
Allen is being recognized for her contributions to stochastic and deterministic modeling of populations and disease transmission, their applications and education in applied mathematics. Allen has previously served on the editorial board of the SIAM Journal of Applied Mathematics. She also was the 2015 AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecturer and is a SIAM author.
“I am humbled to be recognized by my peers,” Allen said. “It is an honor to represent the Department of Mathematics & Statistics and Texas Tech as a SIAM Fellow. SIAM Fellows work in academia, government labs and industry around the world.”
Allen is one of 30 distinguished SIAM members nominated for their research and service to the community. Through their contributions, SIAM Fellows help to advance the fields of applied mathematics and computational science. They will be recognized during the SIAM annual meeting July 11-15 in Boston.
