Todd Arbogast is a professor of mathematics and holds the W.A. "Tex" Moncrief, Jr. Chair in Computational Engineering Sciences V—Applied Mathematics at The University of Texas at Austin. He completed his undergraduate studies in mathematics and physics at the University of Minnesota in 1981 and earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1987 under the supervision of Jim Douglas, Jr. His research focuses on numerical analysis of partial differential equations and their applications in various fields such as fluid flow in porous media. In 2012, he was named a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, and in 2018, he was elected a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). He has made significant contributions to the development of Eulerian-Lagrangian weighted non-oscillatory methods for advective transport and has studied mixed methods for nonlinear elliptic problems. His work encompasses the modeling and simulation of multi-phase flow in porous media and fractured vuggy media, applicable to petroleum production and groundwater resources. He has authored numerous publications and has been awarded multiple fellowships and research grants, indicating his prominence and influence in the field of applied mathematics and computational science.
