Catherine Sulem FRSC (born 1957)[1] is a mathematician and violinist at the University of Toronto.

She has completed a monograph "Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation: Self-Focusing Instability and Wave Collapse" together with her brother Pierre-Louis Sulem, which appears in applied Mathematical Sciences.[2]

Awards and honours edit

Sulem is the winner of the fourth Krieger–Nelson Prize, for "important breakthroughs in understanding of many nonlinear phenomena associated with the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation and the water wave problem".[3] She is also a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[4] In 2015, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.[5] In 2018 the Canadian Mathematical Society listed her in their inaugural class of fellows.[6] In 2019 she gave the AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture, entitled The Dynamics of Ocean Waves, at the 7th ICIAM in Valencia.[7] This lecture is awarded jointly by Association of Women in Mathematics and SIAM. In 2020, Sulem was awarded the CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize, the premier Canadian research prize in the mathematical sciences. She was elected to the 2023 Class of SIAM Fellows.[8]
