He was a postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto before taking up a Lectureship at the University of Dundee in 1990 and moving to a Readership at the University of Strathclyde in 1996. Higham's main area of research is stochastic computation, with applications in computational biology, technological/sociological/security networks and mathematical finance. He holds a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award (2012–2017)〔http://royalsociety.org/news/2012/wolfsons-round-2-2012〕 and is a Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Fellow and Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. He won the 2005 SIAM Germund Dahlquist Prize (2005).〔http://www.siam.org/prizes/sponsored/dahlquist.php〕 Higham has authored four books: * ''Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations: Initial Value Problems'' (2010, with D. F. Griffiths), * ''An Introduction to Financial Option Valuation: Mathematics, Stochastics and Computation'' (2004), * ''MATLAB Guide'' (with his brother Nicholas Higham, 2nd edition, 2005), * ''Learning LaTeX'' (1997, with D. F. Griffiths). He also edited the book * ''Network Science: Complexity in Nature and Technology'' (2010, with Ernesto Estrada, Maria Fox and Gian-Luca Oppo). He is Section Editor of the Survey and Review section of SIAM Review and is a member of the editorial boards of several other journals. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Desmond Higham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
