He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1980. In 2007 he was awarded the Leroy P. Steele Prize for his life's work. In 1978 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Helsinki (Algebraic curves of infinite genus arising in the theory of nonlinear waves). In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.^[2]
