The University issued the following press release:
Bobby Schnabel, vice provost for academic and campus technology at the
University of Colorado Boulder, has been named the next editor-in-chief of

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
SIAM's membership is made up of applied and computational mathematicians,
computer scientists, engineers, statisticians and mathematical educators.
Schnabel
The organization brings together researchers and practitioners who perform
mathematical analysis and computer simulations in areas ranging from aircraft
design to cell structure analysis and the management of financial markets.
"I'm honored to be selected to edit a publication that's home to some of the
most influential papers in applied mathematics and computational science,"
said Schnabel. "SIAM Review has had a stellar record, currently
holding the highest impact factor among all applied mathematics journals,
and I hope to be able to perpetuate its high standards."
Schnabel was the founding editor of the Education section of Siam Review and
now becomes the second editor-in-chief under the revised format. Recent issues
have included articles covering applications of mathematics and computation to
topics as diverse as human biomechanics, image reconstruction, public-key
cryptography, web searching, cancer classification and the separation of
coconuts.
Schnabel also is the founding director of the
ATLAS Institute (Alliance for Technology, Learning
and Society) on the Boulder campus. He has been a faculty member in the
department of computer science at CU-Boulder since 1977 and was chair of the
department from 1990-1995. He was associate dean for academic affairs in the
College of Engineering and Applied Science from 1995-1997. His teaching and
research interests are in the areas of scientific and parallel computation,
including applications to molecular chemistry problems, and he has authored
more than 100 technical papers.
Schnabel is the recipient of the 1980 Teaching Recognition Award, awarded by
students, the 1987 Boulder Faculty Teaching Award, awarded by faculty, and a
1998 University of Colorado Boulder Faculty Service Award.
