Paul Roesel Garabedian (August 2, 1927 – May 13, 2010) was a mathematician and numerical analyst.[1] Garabedian was the Director-Division of Computational Fluid Dynamics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.[2] He is known for his contributions to the fields of computational fluid dynamics and plasma physics, which ranged from elegant existence proofs for potential theory and conformal mappings[3] to the design and optimization of stellarators.[4] Garabedian was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1975.[5]
