Marc Mangel is an American mathematical biologist and professor emeritus known for his contributions to theoretical ecology, applied mathematics, and interdisciplinary environmental research. He was a distinguished professor in the department of mathematical biology emeritus at the University of California, Santa Cruz,[1] and professor emeritus in the theoretical ecology group at the University of Bergen.
Early life and education
[edit]Mangel earned his B.S. degree in physics with high honors from the University of Illinois in 1971. He completed an M.S. in biophysics in 1972 at the same institution,[2] and received his Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics and statistics from the University of British Columbia in 1978.[3]
Career
[edit]From 1977 to 1980, Mangel worked as a scientific analyst at the Center for Naval Analyses, a federally funded research and development center supporting the United States Navy. In 1980, he joined the faculty at the University of California, Davis, where he held positions in the department of mathematics. During his tenure, he co-founded the university's graduate programs in applied mathematics and in population biology. He served as chair of the department of mathematics from 1984 to 1989 and as director of the center for population biology from 1989 to 1993.[4]
In 1996, Mangel moved to the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he held appointments in both environmental studies and the department of applied mathematics and statistics. His administrative roles included serving as associate vice chancellor for planning and programs from 1997 to 1999, chair of the department of applied mathematics and statistics from 2007 to 2009, and chair of the program in technology and information management from 2010 to 2012. He retired in 2023 with the title of distinguished professor.[1]
Mangel has also held an academic affiliation as professor emeritus in the theoretical ecology group at the University of Bergen.[5]
