mathematician university professor
According to Mathematics Genealogy Project, (in the beginning of 2009) Temam has supervised 106 Doctor of Philosophy thesis. This is the highest number Doctor of Philosophy thesis supervised by an individual in the field of mathematics. He finished his dissertation in 1967.
He has a total of 314 mathematical descendants. He is known for his contributions to the theory of Navier–Stokes equations and numerical analysis. Temam was advised by Jacques-Louis Lions at the Université de Paris.
He was elected to the French Academy of Sciences on 11 December 2007 (while at University).
From 1967 to 2003, Temam held a professorship at Université Paris-Sud (Orsay). In the mid-1980s, Temam came to University to work with Ciprian Foias. made him "a very nice offer." He taught at both and in for some time.
Since his arrival at, Temam has served as the director of the Institute for Scientific Computing and Applied Mathematics at Indiana University.
