Prof. Dr. Konstantinos Lazopoulos | Applied Mathematics | Best Researcher Award

researcher | National Technical University of Athens | Greece 

Prof. Dr. Konstantinos Lazopoulos is a distinguished scholar in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, currently serving at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece. With an academic foundation rooted in both engineering and mathematics, he earned his Diploma in Civil Engineering from NTUA in 1968, followed by a Diploma in Mathematics from the University of Athens in 1975. He then pursued advanced studies in the United States, obtaining a Master’s degree in Mechanics from Virginia Tech in 1977 and a Ph.D. in Mechanics from Georgia Tech in 1979, both supported by university scholarships. From 1980 to 2013, he was a dedicated faculty member at NTUA’s Department of Applied Mathematics and Physics, contributing profoundly to education and research. His prolific academic output includes over 100 research papers published in leading international journals, focusing on innovative analytical and computational methods in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics. Prof. Lazopoulos is internationally recognized for developing the mathematically rigorous Λ-Fractional Analysis, a novel fractional method inspired by Leibnitz’s foundational ideas of 1695 and satisfying the stringent conditions of Differential Topology. His research interests encompass fractional calculus, continuum mechanics, nonlinear analysis, and mathematical modeling of physical systems. His expertise lies in developing precise mathematical frameworks to describe complex mechanical behaviors, bridging theory and practical application in mechanics and physics. Acknowledged for his scholarly excellence, Prof. Lazopoulos has been featured in Stanford University’s global catalog of the top 2% most influential researchers, underscoring his lasting impact on the scientific community. His career reflects a lifelong commitment to advancing the frontiers of mathematical science and engineering through original thought, rigor, and innovation.1,280 Citations; 79 Documents; 19 h-index.
