"We take great pride in the accomplishments of these 34 outstanding SIAM members," said society president Douglas N. Arnold. "Men and women from four continents and numerous disciplines exemplify SIAM's vision of the central role mathematics plays in the advancement of science and technology."

The society will cite Constantin "for contributions to the mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations, fluid dynamics and turbulence."
