| Summary: | Mathematician James H. Curry was born in 1948, in Oakland, California. Curry earned his B. S. (1970), M. A. (1971) and Ph.D. (1976) degrees in mathematics from the University of California at Berkeley. Curry was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. In 1981, Curry began scientific investigations with a supercomputer, the Cray High Performance Computing System. Cray obtained grants to use computers to understand weather, flame propagation and other complex systems. In 1990, Curry joined the faculty at the University of Colorado, Boulder, as a professor of applied mathematics. Curry was promoted to full professor of mathematics in 1995; and, in 2008, he became the associate director of the program in applied mathematics. Curry also worked for the National Science Foundation in the division of mathematical science. Curry's research with the Cray supercomputer was published in Communications in Mathematical Physics.
