簡介


Hans G. Kaper 數學家1965 年畢業於荷蘭的格羅寧根大學,接著在該校的數學與物理科學系任教,1969 年轉往美國的阿貢國家實驗室(Argonne National Laboratory, ANL)進行研究,直至2008 年退休,在這期間獲得高級數學家的榮譽。阿貢國家實驗室為美國能源部的國家實驗室,也是美國政府規模最大、歷史最悠久的科研機構之一。他的研究主要是運用數值方法在微分方程上的發展,2008 年之後研究的方向著重在利用數學來調查氣候的變化,他與喬治城大學數學與統計學系的Hans Engler 教授共同著作一本教科書” Mathematics and Climate ”,這本書被國際大氣科學圖書館(ASLI)評選為”2013 年最佳人氣獎”。Kaper數學家也是SIAM News 的主編輯,同時也是SIAM 科學政策委員會的會員之一。目前Kaper 數學家在喬治城大學的華盛頓特區及伊利諾伊大學厄巴納-香檳分校擔任兼任教授,持續為國家及社會做貢獻。
