John Joseph Benedetto (born 1939-07-16) is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park and is a leading researcher in wavelet analysis and Director of the Norbert Wiener Center for Harmonic Analysis and Applications. He was named Distinguished Scholar-Teacher by the University of Maryland in 1999 and has directed 47 Ph.D students. The volume Harmonic Analysis and Applications: In Honor of John Benedetto, edited by Christopher Heil, describes his influence:
John J. Benedetto has had a profound influence not only on the direction of harmonic analysis and its applications, but also on the entire community of people involved in the field.
[edit] Education
Benedetto attended Boston College, graduating in 1960 with a B.A. in Mathematics. He received an M.A. from Harvard University in 1962, and moved to the University of Toronto, where he was the first student to receive a Ph.D. from then-34 year old Chandler Davis. His dissertation was The Laplace Transform of Generalized Functions.
[edit] Publications
Benedetto founded the Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications in 1994, published by Birkhäuser. He also founded a book series for Birkhäuser in Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis. He has edited or co-authored 10 books and published over 150 research papers.
