Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry

Lawrence Sirovich focuses on Turbulence, Statistical physics, Dynamics, Classical mechanics and Lagrangian coherent structures. Turbulence is a subfield of Mechanics that Lawrence Sirovich studies. The concepts of his Statistical physics study are interwoven with issues in Jump response, Jump and Mathematical optimization.

His studies in Dynamics integrate themes in fields like Biological system, Probabilistic description and Free parameter. In general Classical mechanics, his work in Equations for a falling body and Shear flow is often linked to Rayleigh–Bénard convection and Flow velocity linking many areas of study. His Lagrangian coherent structures research also works with subjects such as

  • Symmetry and related Homogeneous space, Three dimensional flow, Dynamic mode decomposition and Coherence,
  • Chaotic that intertwine with fields like Attractor and Motion,
  • Basis that intertwine with fields like Combinatorics, Covariance matrix, Mirror image, Symmetry and Data set.

His most cited work include:

  • Turbulence and the dynamics of coherent structures. I. Coherent structures (4221 citations)
  • Application of the Karhunen-Loeve procedure for the characterization of human faces (2277 citations)
  • Low-dimensional procedure for the characterization of human faces (1974 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Mechanics, Mathematical analysis, Classical mechanics, Turbulence and Statistical physics are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Field and Eigenfunction. Lawrence Sirovich combines subjects such as Two-dimensional flow, Kinetic theory of gases and Inviscid flow with his study of Mathematical analysis.

His Classical mechanics study incorporates themes from Vortex, Differential equation and Dissipative system. His study in Turbulence is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eigenvalues and eigenvectors and Boundary layer. His study brings together the fields of Pipe flow and Open-channel flow.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mechanics (23.62%)
  • Mathematical analysis (20.10%)
  • Classical mechanics (18.59%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2020)?

  • Mechanics (23.62%)
  • Mathematical analysis (20.10%)
  • Artificial intelligence (7.04%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Mechanics, Mathematical analysis, Artificial intelligence, Statistical physics and Computational biology. Lawrence Sirovich studied Mechanics and Heat equation that intersect with Finite difference method, Finite difference and Partial differential equation. His work in the fields of Fourier series, Fourier analysis, Space and Cnoidal wave overlaps with other areas such as Conjugate Fourier series.

In general Artificial intelligence study, his work on Facial recognition system and Face detection often relates to the realm of Gesture recognition, thereby connecting several areas of interest. Lawrence Sirovich conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Statistical physics and Rayleigh–Bénard convection through his research. His research investigates the connection with Eigenfunction and areas like Wavenumber which intersect with concerns in Vorticity and Classical mechanics.

Between 2002 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Large-scale species delimitation method for hyperdiverse groups. (196 citations)
  • New Perspectives in Turbulence (87 citations)
  • Kinetic Modeling of Gas Mixtures (80 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Geometry

His main research concerns Artificial intelligence, Pattern recognition, Statistical physics, Phylogenetics and Visual cortex. When carried out as part of a general Artificial intelligence research project, his work on Facial recognition system, Curse of dimensionality, Eigenface and Face detection is frequently linked to work in Gesture recognition, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Pattern recognition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Symmetry, Harmonic analysis, Three-dimensional face recognition and Multitaper.

Lawrence Sirovich combines Statistical physics and Rayleigh–Bénard convection in his studies. The study incorporates disciplines such as Taxonomy, Indicator vector, Sequence analysis and DNA barcoding in addition to Phylogenetics. Lawrence Sirovich has researched Visual cortex in several fields, including Pixel, Cognitive psychology, Preference and Spatial frequency.
