WOLFRAM

Wolfram Innovator Award

Wolfram technologies have long been a major force in many areas of industry and research. Leaders in many top organizations and institutions have played a major role in using computational intelligence and pushing the boundaries of how the Wolfram technology stack is leveraged for innovation across fields and disciplines.

We recognize these deserving recipients with the Wolfram Innovator Award, which is awarded at the Wolfram Technology Conferences around the world.

Michael Berry

Melville Wills Professor of Physics (Emeritus), University of Bristol

Areas: Divergent Series, Natural Optical Phenomena, Phase, Physical Asymptotics, Physics of Waves

Michael Berry is a theoretical physicist at the University of Bristol, where he has been for more than twice as long as he has not. His research centers on the relations between physical theories at different levels of description (classical and quantum physics, ray optics and wave optics), emphasizing the singularities at different levels. Wolfram has been his tool of choice for all the numerics and graphics in nearly two hundred research papers since 1988. In addition to these deeply mathematical, often geometric studies, he also delights in finding familiar phenomena illustrating deep concepts—the arcane in the mundane: rainbows, the sparkling of the sun on the sea, twinkling starlight, polarized light in the sky and tidal bores.
