Andrew M. Stuart, FRS, is a British-American mathematician who works in applied and computational mathematics. His research includes numerical analysis of dynamical systems, stochastic differential equations and stochastic partial differential equations, Bayesian methods for inverse problems, data assimilation, and machine learning.

Education and career: He earned a mathematics degree from the University of Bristol in 1983 and a DPhil from the University of Oxford in 1986 under John Norbury. After postdoctoral work at Oxford and MIT, he held permanent positions at the University of Bath (1989–1992), Stanford University (1991–1999), and Warwick University (1999–2016). He is now Bren Professor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences at the California Institute of Technology.

Awards and honors: He received prizes including the Leslie Fox Prize for Numerical Analysis (1989), Monroe H. Martin Prize (1995), James Wilkinson Prize (1997), Germund Dahlquist Prize (1997), Whitehead Prize (2000), and J. D. Crawford Prize (2007). He has been an invited speaker at ICIAM (Zurich 2007; Tokyo 2023) and ICM (Seoul 2014). He became a SIAM Fellow in 2009, a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2020, and a Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellow in 2022.

Publications: Most of his work appears in journals, and he has written several books, including Dynamical Systems and Numerical Analysis; Multiscale Methods; Continuum Mechanics; Data Assimilation; and Inverse Problems.
