He is awarded the James H. Wilkinson Prize in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing for his contributions to multilinear algebra, spectral theory for tensors, and high-dimensional data analysis. He has done seminal work in generalizing eigenvalues and singular values to higher order tensors and arbitrary norms, and in establishing the difficulty of extending numerical linear algebra to multilinear algebra. His work builds bridges between computer science, applied mathematics, and computational science and has applications to applied topology, computational algebraic geometry, and signal processing.There is a lecture associated with the prize, and Professor Lim’s lecture is titled “Tensors in Computational Mathematics.”
