Mark Levi is an American mathematician and popularizer of science, known for his work in dynamical systems.
Education and career
Levi graduated from the University of Latvia in Riga in 1973. In 1978, he earned his Ph.D. under the supervision of Jürgen Moser at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University.
He has held academic positions at Northwestern University (1978–1980), Duke University (1980–1982), Boston University (1982–1991), and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1991–1998).
Since 1998, Levi has been a professor at the Pennsylvania State University.[1] He served as head of the Department of Mathematics from 2018 to 2023.
Levi is also known for popularizing the interplay between mathematics and physics. One of his interests is the construction of physical devices that illustrate mathematical phenomena.
