Biographie de Alex Himonas
Alex Himonas received his B.S. from Patras University in
Greece, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Purdue University. He
is currently professor of mathematics at University of
Notre Dame, where he has won the Kaneb Teaching Award and
received numerous National Science foundation grants. His
research interests include regularity of solutions to
partial differential equations and the Cauchy problem for
non-linear evolution equations. Alex grew up in rural
Greece, surrounded by five siblings and ninety-nine sheep.
His mathematical talent first surfaced when his father
asked him to calculate the volume of their wine barrels in
order to determine their holding capacity. His first
encounter with Riemann sums came when he was invited to
help the local surveyor measure the neighboring farms. As a
youth, Alex was an avid beekeeper and also had a passion
for astronomy. He spent many nights staring at the sky and
studying the constellations. These days, Alex returns to
Greece every few years. Outside of mathematics, he enjoys
swimming, gardening, and family time with his wife and two
children.
