Jean-Marc Vanden-Broeck

[1] He then became a Ph.D. student at the University of Adelaide, Australia, where he worked with Ernie Tuck and Leonard Schwartz.

[1] His Ph.D. thesis entitled Two-dimensional nonlinear free surface flows past semi-infinite bodies, was defended in 1978 and received the William Culross Prize for Scientific Research.

After a short postdoctoral experience in Australia, Vanden-Broeck moved to the United States, first as a Senior Researcher at the Courant Institute, New York, 1978-1979,[1] and then in a similar post at the Stanford University 1979-1981.

Vanden-Broeck has had many graduate students, some of whom are Ersin Ozugurlu, Ben Binder, Tao Gao and Alex Doak,[3] and has mentored and co-mentored numerous postdocs, including Emilian Parau, Dmitri Tseluiko, Zhan Wang and Olga Tritchtchenko.

[1] These problems involve solving partial differential equations in domains whose shape has to be found as part of the solution.

[7][1] Vanden-Broeck's publication list as of September 2019 has more than 230 papers and he is the author of the book Gravity-Capillary Free Surface Flows, Cambridge University Press, 2010.
