Nikos Stylianopoulos

Nikos Stylianopoulos is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Cyprus, School of Natural and Applied Sciences. He has been serving in this position since 2010, following his progression through the academic ranks at the same institution from Lecturer (1993) to Assistant Professor (1996), Associate Professor (2002), and finally Professor (2010). He has also held visiting positions at the University of Crete (1999, 2007) and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (1992-1993).

• Ph.D. in Mathematics, Brunel University (1990)
• M.Sc. in Numerical Analysis, Brunel University (1987)
• Degree in Mathematics, University of Patras (1985)

Professor Stylianopoulos specializes in Complex Analysis, particularly orthogonal polynomials and their applications, Numerical Analysis with focus on computational complex analysis and numerical methods for conformal mappings, and Potential Theory including harmonic functions and inverse potential problems. His research bridges theoretical mathematics with practical computational methods, with significant contributions to understanding the asymptotic behavior of orthogonal polynomials and developing numerical techniques for conformal mapping.

His publication record shows a consistent focus on orthogonal polynomials in the complex plane, with particular emphasis on Bergman polynomials, their asymptotic behavior, and applications to image recovery and shape reconstruction. The research demonstrates strong connections between complex analysis, numerical methods, and potential theory, with practical applications in computational mathematics.

• Academy of Athens Prize (2014) for work on Bergman polynomials
• Multiple Research in Pairs programs at Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach
• University of Cyprus research grants on Orthogonal Polynomials (2010-2015)
• Bursary from Brunel University (1987-1988)
• National Scholarship for Excellence (1986-1990)

Professor Stylianopoulos has held significant administrative roles including Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Cyprus (2016-2017), Chairman of the Editorial Board of Cyprus University Press (2019-2020), and membership on various evaluation committees for undergraduate and postgraduate programs across Greek universities. He serves on the editorial board of Computational Methods and Function Theory and has been involved in numerous research collaborations with prominent mathematicians including Ed Saff, Bjorn Gustafsson, and Mihai Putinar.
