Hommages

• HeraldScotland

he was surrounded by many friends and colleagues and presented his latest ideas and research vision with his customary intellectual rigour and enthusiasm.

• Université d'Edinburgh

He made pioneering contributions to understanding the behaviour of gases and liquids at ultra-small length-scales, work which is now underpinning a broad range of key technologies for the 21^st century.

• The Scotsman

He was generous with his time and energy in supporting younger colleagues

• Association of Computational Mechanics in Engineering in the United Kingdom (ACME-UK)

Professor Reese was a recognised world authority in the field of computational multi-scale fluid dynamics.

•  ECCOMAS

Jason Reese was a good friend to many in our community and he will be dearly missed.

Nos pensées vont à son épouse Alexandra, à sa fille ainsi qu'à toute sa famille
