Sarah Louise Waters is a British applied mathematician whose research interests include biological fluid mechanics, tissue engineering, and their applications in medicine. She is a professor of applied mathematics in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford, a Fellow of St Anne's College, Oxford, [1] and a Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellow of the Royal Society. [2]
Waters completed her Ph.D. at the University of Leeds in 1996. Her dissertation, Coronary artery haemodynamics: pulsatile flow in a tube of time-dependent curvature, was supervised by Tim Pedley. [3] She was named a professor at Oxford in 2014. [4]
In 2012, she won a Whitehead Prize "for her contributions to the fields of physiological fluid mechanics and the biomechanics of artificially engineered tissues". [5]
In 2019, Waters was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society. [6]
Grigory Isaakovich Barenblatt was a Russian mathematician.
Sir Michael James Lighthill was a British applied mathematician, known for his pioneering work in the field of aeroacoustics and for writing the Lighthill report, which pessimistically stated that "In no part of the field have the discoveries made so far produced the major impact that was then promised", contributing to the gloomy climate of AI winter.
