Ralph Showalter joined the Mathematics Department at Oregon State University in the Fall of 2003. Previously he held the Blumberg Centennial Professorship in Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin and was a founding member of the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (previously ICES & TICAM). He was also a visiting professor at Brown University, Virginia Tech, Purdue University, and the University of Augsburg. Ralph served as OSU Mathematics Department Chair in 2004-2007. He also co-founded the Applied and Computational Mathematics Seminar series at Oregon State in 2004 which he continues to co-organize. A member of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, he co-initiated the Texas Differential Equations Conference series in 1978, and co-organized a sectional SIAM meeting, an AMS Western section meeting in 2017, an NSF Workshop on Applications of Functional Analysis in Mechanics in 1977, a DOE-NSF Workshop on "Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Multiscale Nonlinear Systems" in 2007, the inaugural Cascade RAIN meeting in 2014, and SIAM Pacific Northwest Section in 2017, as well as numerous sessions at SIAM meetings. He has served on the editorial boards of ten journals, as co-editor of four special volumes, and as referee for 20 research journals.
