Joseph M. Teran is an American professor of applied mathematics at the University of California, Davis.[1] His research considers numerical methods for partial differential equations based on classical physics, including applications in virtual surgery and movie special effects.[2]
He played a role in simulating snow and ice in the film Frozen, collaborating with Disney's animators.[3]
Education and career
[edit]After graduating from the University of California, Davis, in 2000, Teran completed a Ph.D. at Stanford University in 2005.[1] His dissertation, Novel Finite Element Algorithms With Applications To Skeletal Muscle Simulation, was supervised by Ronald Fedkiw.[4]
He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences from 2005 to 2007, and a faculty member at the University of California, Los Angeles from 2007 to 2020. In 2020 he returned to the University of California, Davis as a professor of mathematics.[1]
Recognition
[edit]Teran's accolades include:
- 2018: Fellow of the American Mathematical Society[5]
