The Navier-Stokes Problem

Alexander G. Ramm, Ph.D., was born in Russia, immigrated to the U.S. in 1979, and is a U.S. citizen. He is Professor of Mathematics with broad interests in analysis, scattering theory, inverse problems, theoretical physics, engineering, signal estimation, tomography, theoretical numerical analysis, and applied mathematics. He is an author of 690 research papers, 16 monographs, and an editor of 3 books. He has lectured in many universities throughout the world, presented approximately 150 invited and plenary talks at various conferences, and has supervised 11 Ph.D. students. He was Fulbright Research Professor in Israel and in Ukraine, distinguished visiting professor in Mexico and Egypt, Mercator professor, invited plenary speaker at the 7th PACOM, won the Khwarizmi international award, and received other honors. Recently he solved inverse scattering problems with non-over-determined data and the many-body wave-scattering problem when the scatterers are small particles of an arbitrary shape; Dr. Ramm used this theory to give a recipe for creating materials with a desired refraction coefficient, gave a solution to the refined Pompeiu problem and proved the refined Schiffers conjecture.
