He is Past President of the Society for Mathematical Biology, and has served on a number of advisory boards, including the Journal of Theoretical Biology Advisory Board, and the Scientific Advisory Board for BIRS. His research has been recognized by a Sloan Research Fellowship and a National Young Investigator Award from the US National Science Foundation. Mark's research is in mathematical biology and ecology, including modelling and analysis of nonlinear PDE and integral models in population dynamics and ecology. Applications, made to case studies with detailed data and biology, include: wolf territories, elk migration in Yellowstone Park, spatial spread and impact of introduced pest species, vegetation shift in response to climate change and recolonization of Mount St. Helens. Mark Lewis was a member of the PIMS Board of Directors during the period 2004-2009 and he is Program Director for the PIMS International Graduate Training Center in Mathematical Biology. He has been an outstanding contributor to the scientific development of PIMS and its community in Western Canada and Washington State. |
