Early life and education

edit

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

edit

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

edit

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]
