Andrew Irwin is the AARMS Director, appointment to start on July 1, 2024.  He has a PhD in Mathematics from Queen’s University (Kingston) and post-doctoral experience at Rutgers University. He developed his applied mathematics teaching and research program at Mount Allison University for more than a decade. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Dalhousie University. His research interests focus on statistical and mathematical models in biological oceanography, spanning temporal scales from days to centuries and spatial scales from the flask to the ocean basin.
