Biography
Adrian S. Lewis was born in England in 1962. He is a Professor at Cornell University in the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering, where he also directs the PhD program in Operations Research. Following his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from Cambridge, and Research Fellowships at Queens' College, Cambridge and Dalhousie University, Canada, he worked in Canada at the University of Waterloo (1989-2001) and Simon Fraser University (2001-2004). He has also held visiting appointments at several institutions, including Paul Sabatier University (Toulouse), the University of Milan, and the University of Auckland. Adrian Lewis is an Associate Editor of the SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, Mathematics of Operations Research, and the SIAM/MPS Book Series on Optimization, and is a Co-Editor for Mathematical Programming, Series A. He received the 1995 Aisenstadt Prize, from the Canadian Centre de recherches mathematiques, the 2003 Lagrange Prize for Continuous Optimization from SIAM and the Mathematical Programming Society, and an Outstanding Paper Award from SIAM in 2005. He co-authored "Convex Analysis and Nonlinear Optimization" with J.M. Borwein. His research concerns variational analysis and nonsmooth optimization, with a particular interest in optimization problems involving eigenvalues. |
