Remembering Professor Richard E. Ewing
Dr. Richard E.
Ewing, world-renowned scientist in mathematics, engineering and
computational sciences and longtime vice president for research at Texas A&M University, died Wednesday (December 5) of an apparent heart attack, according to his family. He was 61.
During a 33-year-career that successfully bridged the gap between academia and industry, Ewing received widespread recognition for profound discoveries and key contributions to numerous fields of research, including numerical analysis and modeling, upscaling techniques for fluid flow in porous media and petroleum reservoir modeling.
As vice president for research, Ewing made perhaps his greatest impact on both Texas A&M and the world overseeing creative scholarship, graduate studies and sponsored research throughout the university and earning worldwide acclaim as one of the driving forces behind Texas A&M’s rise to international research and educational prominence.
Ewing also served
as director of the Institute for Scientific Computation at Texas
A&M, which he founded in 1992 and used to forge a number of
long-term strategic research alliances with many foreign partners,
including Mexico, China and Qatar.
