Ron Fedkiw, Associate Professor, Stanford University, in the classroom. Fedkiw has worked in the field of computational physics. His computer simulations of liquids and other physical states are so precise, they are incorporated in several Hollywood blockbusters. Fedkiw and a colleague received a Scientific and Technical Oscar this year for their contributions to movie making.
