Howell Peregrine joined the Mathematics Department of University of Bristol in 1964 following his undergraduate and postgraduate training at Oxford and Cambridge. He spent his entire career at Bristol. One of his most remarkable contributions was the theoretical prediction of a new nonlinear entity, now called the Peregrine soliton, that may explain the formation of hydrodynamics rogue waves and that has also been experimentally demonstrated more than 25 years later in the field of nonlinear fiber optics
and then in 2011 in hydrodynamics with experiments in a water wave tank.
Howell Peregrine died suddenly after a short battle against cancer. He was then a Professor Emeritus of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bristol.
Commissioners approved County Tax Assessor-Collector LuanaHowell’s request to switch from Peregrine Services to Master’sTouch, which she said believed it could save the county several thousand dollars. She said she had no problem with Peregrine, which “did a good job.”.

While sailors might call these waves scary, scientists have named them Peregrine solitons ... A Peregrine soliton, named after the British mathematician who first theorized their existence, Howell Peregrine, is much rarer. A Peregrine soliton happens when many solitons come together and form one wave that is larger and faster than any individual wave.
