Mangel holds an undergraduate degree in physics, masters
in biopysics, and doctors in applied mathematics and
statistics. He worked for the Center for Naval Analyses
(CNA the research and development center for the US
Navy) from 1977-1980 before joining UC. While working
at CNA, he became interested in the solving of unstructured
problems.
In 1980, Mangel moved to the University of California
Davis, where he served for eight years in the Department
of Mathematics and eight years in the Department of
Zoology/Section of Evolution and Ecology. In 1996, Mangel
moved to the University of California Santa Cruz where
he is now Professor in the Department of Applied Mathematics
and Statistics, Jack Baskin School of Engineering, and
Fellow of Stevenson College; In 2002, he was appointed
as Director, Center for Stock Assessment Research, which
is a partnership between the UCSC and the Santa Cruz
Laboratory of the National Marine Fisheries Service.
His research program in mathematical and theoretical
biology, focuses on ecology, evolution and behavior
and the broad goal of combining first-rate basic science
with important applied questions. Work in the group
includes the evolutionary ecology of growth, aging and
longevity, the evolution of life histories, and quantitative
issues in fisheries management.
Mangel has numerous journal publications and books
that include Decision and Control in Uncertain Resource
Systems (1985, Academic), Dynamic Modeling in
Behavioral Ecology (with Colin Clark, 1988, Princeton),
The Ecological Detective. Confronting models with data
(with Ray Hilborn, 1997, Princeton) and Dynamic State
Variable Models in Ecology: Methods and Applications
(with Colin Clark, 2000, Oxford). He has supervised
more than 50 undergraduate research projects or senior
theses, a dozen PhD students and 20 post-docs; he has
served on more than 25 Ph.D. committees. His students
and post-docs work at a diversity of organizations,
including universities, private concerns, and governmental
agencies.
