Stamatis Koumandos

Stamatis Koumandos is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the School of Natural and Applied Sciences, University of Cyprus, holding this position since July 1, 2008. Previously, he served as Associate Professor from September 1999 to June 2008 and Assistant Professor from December 1995 to August 1999.

He earned his Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1985 and completed his Doctoral thesis there in 1991. His academic development included an Erasmus postgraduate scholarship at "La Sapienza" University of Rome (1989-1990), followed by postdoctoral research at the University of New South Wales (1991-1992) and University of Adelaide (1992-1995) in Australia, along with a concurrent research position at the Research Center for Sensor Signal and Information Processing (1993-1995).

His research spans:

• Harmonic Analysis
• Orthogonal Polynomials
• Special Functions
• Approximation Theory
• Fourier Analysis
• Geometric Theory of Functions
• Analytic Number Theory

with particular emphasis on Bernstein functions, Stieltjes functions, Lommel functions, and associated inequalities and asymptotic expansions.

Analysis of his 15 publications (2012-2024) reveals a sustained focus on properties of special functions, including Turán-type inequalities, logarithmic concavity, and asymptotic behavior. Key contributions involve higher-order Thorin-Bernstein functions, generalized Stieltjes functions, and connections to number theory through Ramanujan approximations.
