Paul Roesel Garabedian (August 2, 1927 – May 13, 2010) was a mathematician and numerical analyst.

[1] Garabedian was the Director-Division of Computational Fluid Dynamics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.

[2] He is known for his contributions to the fields of computational fluid dynamics and plasma physics, which ranged from elegant existence proofs for potential theory and conformal mappings[3] to the design and optimization of stellarators.

[6] It was at Brown University that he met his longtime colleague and collaborator, Frances Bauer.

In 1978 he was appointed the Director-Division of Computational Fluid Dynamics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.
