M.D. Anderson Chair Professor, UH Department of MathematicsSenior Researcher, Institute of Numerical Mathematics, Russian Academy of Sciences
Yuri Kuznetsov joined the University of Houston’s Department of Mathematics in 1997, and was awarded the M.D. Anderson Chair Professorship in 2000. A native of Russia, he has maintained a link with the Institute of Numerical Mathematics in Moscow, participating in various research and applied projects throughout his career.
Well-known in the area of numerical mathematics and applications, Dr. Kuznetsov’s current research is concerned with the development and investigation of new discretization methods and preconditioned iterative methods for numerical solution of partial differential equations with applications to geophysical and energy-related research.
More than 25 Ph.D. theses have been defended under Dr. Kuznetsov’s supervision. His former students successfully work in universities, research laboratories, and corporations around the world.
Dr. Kuznetsov is a member of editorial boards of a number of leading journals on computational and applied mathematics, and a member of program committees of several international conferences. He created the East-West Journal of Numerical Mathematics (known currently as the Journal of Numerical Mathematics), and co-founded the Russian Journal of Numerical Analysis and Mathematical Modelling, which he continues to edit today.
In 1995, Dr. Kuznetsov and his colleagues in France, Germany, and Italy established a series of biannual European conferences on numerical mathematics and its advanced applications, known as ENUMATH conferences.
He holds a Ph.D from the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
