Abba Ramadan Receives Best Student Paper Award

LAWRENCE-Abba Ramadan was awarded Best Student Paper at the IMACS International Conference on Nonlinear Evolution Equations and Wave Phenomena: Computation and Theory, Athens, GA, March 30-April 1, 2022.  Three awards were given out from the more than forty-five Ph.D. participants.

The International Association for Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (IMACS) hosts this conference every two years and is regarded as one of the most prestigious in the area of nonlinear waves and dispersive PDEs.

Abba’s primary research interests are in the existence, stability, and dynamics of nonlinear wave solutions to dispersive partial difference equations (PDEs).  He recently received an award from the KU Office of Graduate Studies Doctoral Student Research Fund.  His comprehensive oral exam was on Existence and Stability of Solitary Waves for the Inhomogeneous NLS.  His advisors are Atanas Stefanov, professor of mathematics (formerly at KU, now at University of Alabama at Birmingham) and Dionyssios Mantzavinos, associate professor of mathematics.
