Graeme W. Milton Field: Mathematics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1988
Research Interests
rimarily the properties of composite materials, which amounts to studying partial differential equations with rapid oscillations in their coefficients. I'm interested, for example, in how the microstructure influences the effective conductivity and effective elastic properties of composite materials and in identifying optimal composites which have extreme properties, on the boundary of what is possible. These optimal composites often have structure on many length scales, sometimes on infinitely many length scales.

Bjorn Poonen Field: Mathematics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998
Research Interests
jorn Poonen researches number theory and arithmetic geometry. He states that there is a wide gap between theory and practice in the disciplines of number theory and arithmetic geometry. A common thread in his work is to take ideas that previously have been useful in theory, and to transform them into methods that can be used to solve down-to-earth problems. For example, in the past, he has proved results on random packing, with applications to communications networks.
