Research contributions

edit

Osher was the inventor (or co-inventor) and developer of many highly successful numerical methods for computational physics, image processing and other fields, including:

Osher has founded (or co-founded) three successful companies:

  • Cognitech (with Rudin)
  • Level Set Systems
  • Luminescent Technologies (with Yablonovitch)

Osher has been a thesis advisor for at least 53 PhD students, with 188 descendants, as well as postdoctoral adviser and collaborator for many applied mathematicians. His PhD students have been evenly distributed among academia and industry and labs, most of them are involved in applying mathematical and computational tools to industrial or scientific application areas.
