Constantine Michael Dafermos (Greek: Κωνσταντίνος Δαφέρμος; born May 26, 1941, Athens) is a Greek applied mathematician. He received a Diploma in Civil Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (1964) and a Ph.D. in Mechanics from Johns Hopkins University under the direction of Jerald Ericksen (1967). He has been an Assistant Professor at Cornell University (1968-1971) and an Associate Professor (1971-1975) and Professor (1975-) in the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. Since 1984, he has been the Alumni-Alumnae University Professor at Brown.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CV )〕 In recent years, his research has focused on nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws whose solutions spontaneously develop singularities propagating as shock waves. In particular, he is studying the interplay between thermodynamics and analysis in the theory of these systems and he is analyzing the fundamental role of entropy as a stabilizing agent. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.〔(List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society ), retrieved 2012-11-10.〕 ==Awards== *Honorary Doctorate, University of Athens, 1987. *Honorary Doctorate, National Technical University (Greece), 1991. *Honorary Doctorate, University of Crete, 2001. *SIAM W.T. and Idalia Reid Prize, 2000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Constantine Dafermos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
