Andrew D. Lewis

Andrew D. Lewis is a Professor and Associate Head of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at Queen's University, Kingston, Canada. His research focuses on geometric control theory, global analysis, and geometric mechanics, with applications to mechanical systems and dynamical systems. He holds a Ph.D. from Caltech, along with M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees from Caltech and the University of New Brunswick, respectively.

His research explores the intersection of geometric methods, topology, and algebra in solving structural problems in control theory and mechanics. He actively mentors graduate students and emphasizes mathematical rigor combined with applied perspectives. Lewis teaches advanced courses in control theory, differential equations, and geometric mechanics, and has developed extensive lecture notes and software tools for academic use.

He has organized numerous research events, including the CRM Trimester on Control Geometry and Engineering and the Meeting on Nonlinear Control Theory and its Applications. His work spans theoretical contributions to control systems, geometric mechanics, and applied mathematics, with a focus on controllability, stabilization, and system dynamics.
