Dr. Jeffery David Lewins
Life Fellow,
Praelector, Magdalene College Cambridge
Background
Dr. Jeffery David Lewins was commissioned into the Royal Engineers
after Sandhurst. Service in Korea, Germany and Scotland was
'interrupted' by reading Mechanical Science at Cambridge and taking a
Nuclear Engineering PhD at MIT. In 1968 he left the Sappers to be the
first Warden of Hughes Parry Hall for the University of London,
teaching in University College, Queen Elizabeth College and Queen Mary
College. He has a second PhD from Cambridge and the London DSc(Eng).
His books include IMPORTANCE; THE ADJOINT FUNCTION (1968) and NUCLEAR
REACTOR KINETICS AND CONTROL (1978) and he contributed the sections on
nuclear power to the MECHANICAL ENGINEERS' HANDBOOK (1992) and the
ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT (1995). His
achievements range from the Gold Medal at Sandhurst to Presidency of
the Institution of Nuclear Engineers. Dr Lewins succeeded Dr Roger
Morris as Director of Studies in Engineering, handing over to Dr
Babinsky and Dr Alboussiere on retirement from the governing body, and
Mickey Dias as Praelector in 1987, and combines this as former Kipling
Fellow with encouraging Kipling Scholarship in Magdalene and the
expanding College computing facilities. He was a Trustee of the ADC and
a member of the University's Military Education Committee, and Member
of Council of the Kipling Society. He was a Chartered Engineer and
Panel Chairman for the Engineering Council's Quality and Audit
Committee. He passed away on 23 August, 2019 in Cambridge, England.
Research Interests
Dr Lewins' field of research is the application and interpretation of
mathematical methods to nuclear power problems. The focus is on
understanding and exploiting variational and perturbation methods,
leading to new optimising techniques. The scope ranges through reactor
kinetics and control, in-core fuel cycle optimisation, heat transfer
and thermodynamics; stochastic theory, reliability and safety. He was
Editor of the annual review series ADVANCES IN NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY (Plenum) and is General Editor of the Research Studies Press
series of RESEARCH STUDIES IN NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY.
