Steven Alan Orszag (February 27, 1943 – May 1, 2011) was an American mathematician.

Life and career

Orszag was born to a

Professor of Mathematics at Yale University[5] from 2000 until his death in 2011.[1]

Orszag has won numerous awards including

Sloan Fellowship and Guggenheim Fellowship,[6] the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Fluid and Plasmadynamics Award, the Otto Laporte Award of the American Physical Society, and the Society of Engineering Science's G. I. Taylor Medal.[7]

Orszag specialized in

large-eddy simulations. He was the founder of and/or chief scientific adviser to a number of companies, including Flow Research, Ibrix (now part of HPQ), Vector Technologies, and Exa Corp. He has been awarded 6 patents and has written over 400 archival papers.[citation needed

With

ISI Web of Knowledge, Thomson Scientific Company.[10]

Personal life

In 1964, he married Reba Karp (sister of Joel Karp,[2] the co-designer of the Intel 1103 chip);[11] they had three sons: Michael, Peter, and Jonathan.[2] Peter and Jonathan were both Marshall Scholars.[12]
