Christos Nikolopoulos

Christos Nikolopoulos is a Professor at the University of the Aegean, actively contributing to mathematical research and undergraduate education through rigorous coursework and specialized investigations in differential equations.

Education:

• B.Sc. in Mathematics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
• Master of Science in the Mathematics of Nonlinear Models, Department of Mathematics, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland.
• Ph.D., Department of Mathematics, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland.

Research Focus: His work centers on nonlinear phenomena in Partial Differential Equations, with significant contributions to Free Boundary Problems and Blow-up Solutions. He investigates critical thresholds for solution blow-up in Reaction Diffusion Equations and develops mathematical models for systems with moving boundaries, emphasizing theoretical analysis and time-estimation frameworks.

Current Teaching: For Winter semester 2024-2025, he instructs Infinitesimal Calculus III (course code 311-0550 Y), covering vector calculus in Rⁿ, multivariable differentiation, Taylor's theorem, Hessian analysis, constrained optimization via Lagrange multipliers, and vector field properties including divergence and curl.
