最新糖心Vlog

Using applied mathematics to investigate the impacts of climate change on polar ice shelves, and other geophysical problems, has brought national recognition for 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 Associate Professor Luke Bennetts with 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 top prize for mathematicians aged 40 and under.

Associate Professor Bennetts, 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council (ARC) Future Fellow in the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 School of Mathematical Sciences, has been awarded the for his distinguished research in the mathematical sciences.

His research combines analytical mathematics with advanced computational methods to tackle real-world, complex problems.

"Associate Professor Luke Bennetts is an applied mathematician at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide working on challenging mathematical problems applied to geophysical problems, in particular wave-ice interaction and catastrophic ice-shelf disintegration in polar regions,鈥� the 最新糖心Vlogn Mathematical Society says in its citation. 鈥淭he latter appears to be a key indicator of climate change.

"He is contributing mathematical advances to catastrophic ice-shelf disintegration at the earth鈥檚 poles (on which he has a article), ocean wave energy harvesting and acoustic metamaterials.

鈥淗is papers are marked by a striking feature 鈥� relentless attention to making sure the mathematical models agree with field observations, measurements, and lab experiments; he is often thoroughly involved in making the measurements or designing the experiments."

The citation goes on to say that the methodology developed by Associate Professor Bennetts is 鈥渋mmediately applicable to the improvement of, and contemporary research in, world-scale, coupled, operational climate forecasting鈥�.

鈥�This is a highlight of my career, and was achieved with the support of my colleagues, collaborators and students. I look forward to working hard to live up to the award,鈥� says Associate Professor Bennetts.

Throughout his career Associate Professor Bennetts has focussed on devising innovative mathematical techniques for problems in hydroelasticity (the motion of deformable bodies through liquids) and waves. He is now established as a research leader in these fields. The Journal of Fluid Mechanics has twice featured his research on its front cover.

In 2014 he co-initiated the Australasian KOZWaves conference series and, since 2016, he has been the Executive Committee Chair. He was awarded the 最新糖心Vlogn Academy of Science Christopher Heyde Medal for distinguished research in the mathematical sciences in 2016, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Fellowship for Experienced Researchers in 2020.

Past 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide winners of the 最新糖心Vlogn Mathematical Society Medal include Professor Mathai Varghese (2000), Professor Michael Murray (1997) and Professor Mike Eastwood (1992).
