Mike Steel in 2020

Michael Anthony Steel (born May 1960) is a New Zealand mathematician and statistician, a Distinguished Professor of mathematics and statistics [1] and the Director of the Biomathematics Research Centre at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.[2] He is known for his research on modeling and reconstructing evolutionary trees.

Biography

Steel studied at the University of Canterbury, earning a bachelor's degree in 1982, a masters in 1983, and a degree in journalism in 1985. He then moved to Massey University, where he received his Ph.D. in 1989, supervised by Michael D. Hendy and David Penny.[3] He joined the Canterbury faculty in 1994.[2]

Awards and honours

Steel won the Hamilton Memorial Prize of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1994; this prize is given annually to a New Zealand mathematician for work done within five years of a Ph.D.[4]

In 1999 he won the research award of the New Zealand Mathematical Society "for his fundamental contributions to the mathematical understanding of phylogeny, demonstrating a capacity for hard creative work in combinatorics and statistics and an excellent understanding of the biological implications of his results."[5]

He became a fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 2003.[6]

In 2018, Steel was elected as a Fellow of the International Society for Computational Biology, for his outstanding contributions to the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics.[7]

Chord rewrite rules

Steedman (1984)[1] has proposed a set of recursive rewrite rules which generate all well-formed transformations of jazz, basic I–IV–I–V–I twelve-bar blues chord sequences, and, slightly modified, non-twelve-bar blues I–IV–V sequences (rhythm changes). The typical 12-bar blues...
