Mark M. Meerschaert

We remember and miss Mark a lot. He was a rock and a mentor for us that we could have always turn to for advice and just to talk things through. Wish he was here.

I am very sorry for the loss of Mark as a great person and researcher.

I knew Mark from his top level research papers about fractional calculus and its applications. I met him in several occasions during international conferences when he deliver very original plenary talks. We had fruitful conversations during the events. He was a model for the young generation of researchers. He like to contribute and share his knowledge always by willing from his heart.

He will stay...

I sincerely would like to present my deepest condolences to the big and lovely Meerschaert Family, friends and colleagues.

In the whole year of 2014, I had the great opportunity to work with Professor Mark Meerschaert as his PostDoct at Michigan State University. I had first met with him during a conference in Rhode Island organized by Brown University. I was very impressed about his ambitious contribution to the area of fractional calculus. He was a great mentor and role model...

Dear Carmen, I am saddened to read Mark's obit online. Thank you for publishing it. I have always been fond of the two of you since we were neighbors in Reno. I have followed Mark's career online. I wish you the best.

We met Mark Meershaert in the Statistics and Applied Probability department at UC Santa Barbara in the early 2000. Mark came to give a talk at the department colloquium. He recruited us to apply for a job opening at the University of Nevada Reno, Math dept and at the Desert Research Institute. We moved to Reno in August 2000 to take posts at UNR (Tom) and DRI (Ania). Mark was our mentor, research collaborator and became our friend of 20 years.

We visited Mark and Carmen at their...

Mark was a great colleague and a friend.

He and I were first met at a math conference in Europe. But we started to know each other better when I visited the Department of Mathematics at Michigan State University in March, 2010. He was in the different Department, Statistics and Probability. Due to a time conflict, he couldn’t come to my seminar talk but we did find time to meet and chat, and quickly identified a research project on fractional PDE to work on jointly. He stopped...

Mark Meerschaert was my great colleague and my great friend. He was largely responsible for me being hired by Albion College in 1990.

We started writing articles on
time series analysis together in 1993. Our first paper landed in The Annals of Statistics. Who’d a thunk? Nailed it on the first try. It was the beginning of many exciting adventures in the realm of mathematical research. If it wasn’t for Mark, none of it would have happened. And we had so much fun in the...
