Loukas Grafakos (Greek: Λουκάς Γραφάκος) is a Greek mathematician working in harmonic analysis. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1989, under the guidance of Michael Christ.[1] Grafakos currently holds the position of Mahala and Rose Houchins Distinguished Professor at the University of Missouri.[2]
Grafakos' research interests include Fourier analysis, singular integrals, and Calderón–Zygmund theory. He is well known for his contributions to the area of multilinear harmonic analysis.[3] Grafakos has been supported by the National Science Foundation and was a Simons Fellow in Mathematics during the academic year 2022-2023.[4]
His monographs, “Classical Fourier Analysis”,[5] “Modern Fourier Analysis”,[6] and “Fundamentals of Fourier Analysis”,[7] are widely used as references and as textbooks and provide comprehensive treatment of the subject.
