David Saul Jerison is an American mathematician, a professor of mathematics and a MacVicar Faculty Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and an expert in partial differential equations and Fourier analysis. [1]

David Jerison did his undergraduate studies at Harvard University and received a bachelor's degree in 1975. He then received his PH.D. in 1980 from Princeton University with Elias M. Stein as his advisor, and after postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago, he came to MIT in 1981. [1] [2]

Awards and honors

In 1985, he received an A.P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship and a Presidential Young Investigator Award. [3] In 1994, Jerison was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich. [4] In 1999, he was elected as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. [5] He became a MacVicar Fellow in 2004. [1] In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [6] In 2012, he received, jointly with John M. Lee, the Stefan Bergman Prize from the American Mathematical Society. [7]

Charles Samuel Peskin is an American mathematician known for his work in the mathematical modeling of blood flow in the heart. Such calculations are useful in the design of artificial heart valves. From this work has emerged an original computational method for fluid-structure interaction that is now called the “immersed boundary method", which allows the coupling between deformable immersed structures and fluid flows to be handled in a computationally tractable way. With his students and colleagues, Peskin also has worked on mathematical models of such systems as the inner ear, arterial pulse, blood clotting, congenital heart disease, light adaptation in the retina, control of ovulation number, control of plasmid replication, molecular dynamics, and molecular motors.
