After receiving a B.S.E. in mechanical and aerospace engineering in 1982, and Ph.D. in theoretical physics in 1987 (as an NSF graduate fellow), Dr. Lewellen was a researcher in elementary particle physics and superstring theory at SLAC (Stanford University) from 1987-1990 and the Institue for Theoretical Physics (UCSB) from 1990-1993. In 1993 he began researching atmospheric turbulence and joined the faculty of WVU.
