Mark Ablowitz Awarded The 2014 Martin Kruskal Prize

From the award citation: "The SIAG on Nonlinear Waves and Coherent Structures awards the 2014 Martin Kruskal Prize  to Mark Ablowitz For his seminal and important work, which has had a significant and lasting impact on the fields of nonlinear waves, integrable systems and optics. A boundless enthusiast, he has been an inspiration across disciplines and a leader of colleagues, of students, and across the applied mathematics and nonlinear waves community.’’

The prize was awarded at the 2014 SIAM Conference on Nonlinear Waves and Coherent Structures  August 2014, at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, UK.  As part of the award, Ablowitz presented the Martin Kruskal Lecture.

The SIAM Activity Group on Nonlinear Waves and Coherent Structures (SIAG/NWCS) awards the Martin Kruskal prize for a notable body of mathematics and contributions in the field of nonlinear waves and coherent structures.  The prize honors Martin David Kruskal for his fundamental contributions in many areas of mathematics and science, including his single most celebrated contribution, the discovery and theory of solitons.

The Martin Kruskal Prize, established in 2012, is awarded every two years for a notable body of mathematics and contributions in the field of nonlinear waves and coherent structures. The award may be given either for a single notable achievement or for a collection of such achievements.
