Collaboration among faculty members and students at Penn State and Peking
University in Beijing, China, is continuing as part of the partnership between
the two institutions. The partnership, strengthened and formalized during a
recent visit to China by Penn State President Graham Spanier and a delegation
of faculty members from across the University, is part of Penn State's
long-term globalization initiative.

CCMA Director Jinchao Xu
gave a 45-minute invited presentation at the International Congress of Mathematicians,
August 19-27, 2010, in Hyderabad, India.

Jinchao Xu has been recognized in a recent Department of Energy's
"Report of The
Panel on Recent Significant Advancements in Computational Science
10 BREAKTHROUGHS IN 2008"
for his work related to the first provably
scalable solver code for Maxwell's equations. According to DOE, this
code "is a perfect example of how fundamental mathematical research
can lead to important software advances in high-performance
computing."
- Two former Ph.D. students from CCMA, Youngju Lee who
earned his Ph.D. in summer 2004 and Long Chen who completed his Ph.D in summer 2005 (both under
the supervision of Jinchao Xu), recently accepted university tenure-track positions.
Lee, currently a postdoc at UCLA, is going to University of Rutgers and Chen, currently a
postdoc at UMD, is going to University of California at Irvine, both as tenure-track assistant professors.

LLNL's hypre scalable solver library now includes the first provably scalable solver for the positive
semi-definite form of Maxwells equations on general unstructured meshes, which was developed by and is
directly traceable to a March 2006 seminar by computational mathematician Jinchao Xu of PennState. Hypre
is one of the mainstays of NNSA program and of the Office of Science SciDAC program.

Jinchao Xu has been invited to give a plenary talk in
6-th
International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics
(ICIAM 2007)
that is to take place during 16 -20 July 2007
in Zurich. ICIAM is the largest and the flagship international
conference for the world applied mathematics community that holds
every four years and ICIAM 2007 features 27 invited speakers.

Alberto Bressan has been selected to receive the Antonio Feltrinelli Prize in Mathematics, Mechanics and Applications. This prize is awarded by the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Italy's most prestigious scientific society. Alberto will be traveling to Rome for the award ceremony
- A departmental group proposal has been recently funded by the National Science Foundation program ``Scientific Computing Research Environments for Mathematical Sciences''. It provides $111000
to purchase a symmetrical multiprocessor (SMP) cluster, and a visualization server.

CCMA director
Jinchao Xu
was recently rated 5th in the world in number
of citations for mathematics (excluding statistics) for the period 1991-2001
by the Institute for Scientific Information (see Science
Watch, May/June 2002, Vol. 13, No. 3, see also AMSTAT News, January
2003), and 2nd in the rate of citation of his papers
for the period 1991-2001 (see AMSTAT Forum, April 2003). Penn
State ranked 20th in the ISI list ``Mathematics
Research: Institutions Ranked by Citations" for the same time period.
