Polish mathematician (born 1959)
Jacek Banasiak FAAS (born 15 March 1959) is a Polish mathematician who is a Professor and South African Research Chair in Mathematical Models and Methods in Biosciences and Bioengineering at the University of Pretoria , South Africa.
Early life and education
Jacek Banasiak was born on 15 March 1959 in Łódź , Poland.[ 1] He obtained a Master of Science (MSc) in Math from the Łódź University of Technology in 1981,[ 2] and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in mathematics on 15 March 1989 from the University of Strathclyde , Scotland.[ 3] He was hablitated (PD) in Physics on 17 June 1999 from the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics, University of Warsaw with a thesis titled Singularly Perturbed Evolution Equations with Applications in Kinetic Theory and Other Branches of Mathematical Physics .[ 4]
Career and research
Banasiak became a professor on 21 December 2007,[ 5] and has been a Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the University of KwaZulu-Natal from 2011 until 2015.[ 6] [ 7] After, he joined the University of Pretoria and became the South African Research Chair in Mathematical Models and Methods in Biosciences and Bioengineering at the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics,[ 8] extraordinary professor at the Łódź University of Technology,[ 9] and a visiting professor of Mathematics and Statistics at the Strathclyde University.[ 10]
Banasiak research focuses on applied mathematics especially semigroup theory,[ 11] asymptotic analysis ,[ 12] [ 13] mathematical biology ,[ 14] [ 15] [ 16] fragmentations coagulation equations,[ 17] and difference and differential equations .[ 18] [ 19]
Banasiak served as the vice president of the South African Mathematical Society (2001–2005).[ 6] [ 2] He is a member of the Academy of Science of South Africa and the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS).[ 20] He is also the Editor-in-Chief of Afrika Matematika since 2010,[ 21] [ 6] Associate Editor of Quaestiones Mathematicae[ 22] and Evolution Equations an Control Theory (EECT),[ 23] and a member of the Editorial Board of Mathematical Methods for the Applied Sciences[ 24] and Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems.[ 25]
Awards and honours
In 2012, Banasiak won the South African Mathematical Society (SAMS) award for Research Distinction.[ 26] In 2014, he was honoured with the Polish Cross of Merit (Silver) for his contributions to science.[ 2] Banasiak was elected a Fellow of the African Academy of Sciences in 2016.[ 27]
