THE FREDERICK A. HOWES
SCHOLAR in Computational Science award was
established to honor the late Frederick Anthony Howes,
who managed the Applied Mathematical Science Program
in the U.S. Department of Energy during the 1990s.
Dr. Howes was highly respected and admired for
his energy, dedication and personal integrity.
One of Howes’ responsibilities was to
oversee the Department of Energy’s
Computational Science Graduate
Fellowship (DOE CSGF) program.
He was extremely committed to this
program. In fact, without his support,
the program may not have survived.
To honor his memory and his dedication
to the DOE CSGF program, one
or two DOE CSGF fellows are chosen
each calendar year as a Howes
Scholar. Candidates are chosen on
the basis of their academic excellence,
leadership and character and
are nominated by their academic
advisors. The honor provides the
recipients with a substantial cash
award, a Tiffany crystal paperweight,
and the distinction of being named
a Howes Scholar.
2004 Scholar
Collin Wick, a DOE CSGF fellow from
2000-2003, was selected as the 2004
Howes Scholar. Graduating from the
University of Minnesota with a Ph.D.
in Computational Chemistry, Dr. Wick
spent time at the National Technical
University in Athens, Greece, before
returning to the United States in July
to take a position with Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory in
Richland, Washington.
Dr. Wick attended the annual DOE
CSGF fellows conference held in
Washington DC, where he presented
his research and accepted his award.
Dr. Margaret Wright of the Courant
Institute presented the award, and
Mary Hall, Dr. Howes’
widow, was in attendance.
Special Presentation
Because Dr. Jon Wilkening, a 2003
Howes Scholar recipient, was unable
to attend the 2003 award ceremony,
he was invited to present his research
and to be recognized at the 2004
ceremony luncheon. Dr. Wilkening
presented his research and was
recognized as a Howes Scholar.
