William M. McEneaney, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering, and Michael Holst, a professor of mathematics and physics, were among 30 scientists and mathematicians selected this year by members of the society, known as SIAM, to receive this distinction.

McEneaney is being honored “for contributions to the field of control for nonlinear systems.” He previously served as chair, secretary and program director of the SIAM Activity Group in Control and Systems Theory, as well as associate editor for the SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization.
