Prof. Hesthaven recieved an M.Sc. in computational physics from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in August
1991. During the studies, the last 6 months of 1989 was spend at JET, the european fusion laboratory in
Culham, UK.
Following graduation, he was awarded a 3 year fellowship to begin
work towards a Ph.D. at
Riso National Laboratory in
the
During the 3 years of study, the academic year of 1993-1994 was spend in the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University and three 3 months during the summer of 1994 in Department of Mathematics and Statistics at University of New Mexico. In August 1995, he recieved a Ph.D. in Numerical Analysis from the Institute of Mathematical Modelling (DTU).
Following graduation in August 1995, he was awarded an NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Advanced Scientific Computing and was approinted Visiting Assistant Professor in the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. In December of 1996, he was appointed consultant to the Institute of Computer Applications in Science and Engineering(ICASE) at NASA Langley Research Center (NASA LaRC).
As of July 1999, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Applied Mathematics, in September 2000 he was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship, as of July 2001 he was awarded a Manning Assistant Professorship, and in March 2002, he was awarded an NSF Career Award.
As of January 2003, he was promoted to Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics with tenure and in May 2004 he was awarded Philip J. Bray Award for Excellence in Teaching in the Sciences (the highest award given for teaching excellence in all sciences at Brown University).
He was promoted to Professor of Applied Mathematics as of July 2005.
Since October 2006, he has been the Director of the Center for Computation and Visualization (CCV) at Brown University.
As of October 2007, he holds the (honorary) title of Professor (Adjunct) at the Technical University of Denmark.
