Paul Lewi was born in 1938 in
Westmalle ,Belgium . His parents, Leo Lewi and Mariette Devocht, were professionalartist s andteacher s. He graduated as IndustrialEngineer in Nuclear Chemistry at the "Hoger Rijksinstituut voor Technisch Onderwijs en Kernenergiebedrijven" Mol, in 1960 and as a Candidate in Mathematical Sciences at theCatholic University of Leuven in 1962. He obtained a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences at theVrije Universiteit Brussel in 1995.He started working at
Janssen Pharmaceutica in 1962, first as mathematical analyst in Cardiovascular Research [Lewi P and Schaper W. (1966). "Standing waves inside the heart". In: "Nature". 1966 Aug 27;211(52):985-6] , then he became the head of Applied Mathematics in 1967, and head of the Scientific Computer department in 1969. He became head of the Information Science department (1973) and finally vice-president of the Center for Molecular Design (CMD) in 1995, which he founded together withPaul Janssen . During his career he elaborated Spectral Map Analysis in 1975 and was one of the cofounders ofchemometrics in 1983.He is married with Philomena Van Bylen, and together they have 5 children.
