Roger Meyer Temam (born 19 May 1940) is a College Professor of mathematics at Indiana University, Bloomington. According to Mathematics Genealogy Project, (in the beginning of 2009) Temam has supervised 106 PhD thesis; this is the highest number PhD thesis supervised by an individual in the field of mathematics. He has a total of 314 mathematical descendants.[1][2] He is known for his contributions to the theory of Navier–Stokes equations and numerical analysis.
France
Temam was advised by Jacques-Louis Lions at the Université de Paris. He finished his dissertation in 1967. He was elected to the French Academy of Sciences on 11 December 2007 (while at Indiana University).[3] From 1967 to 2003, Temam held a professorship at Université Paris-Sud (Orsay).
Indiana
In the mid-1980s, Temam came to Indiana University to work with Ciprian Foias. Indiana made him "a very nice offer."[2] He taught at both Indiana and in France for some time. Since his arrival at Indiana, Temam has served as the director of the Institute for Scientific Computing and Applied Mathematics at IU.[4]
