In 2002, he was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize and in 2011 the Gauss Lectureship. He was also a taekwondo athlete. He has been the Chair of the Society for the Foundations of Computational Mathematics (2014–).
In 2019, he was named a SIAM Fellow "for contributions to numerical methods for partial differential equations, signal processing, and learning".[1] He was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society, in the 2025 class of fellows.[2]
