Guido Weiss

Guido L. Weiss ( born December 29, 1928 in Trieste ) is an American mathematician who deals with harmonic analysis and calculus.

Life

Weiss studied at the University of Chicago, where in 1951 he took his master's degree in 1956 and his doctorate in Antoni Zygmund (On Certain classes of function spaces and interpolation of sublinear operators on the ). From 1955 he was Instructor, 1956 Assistant Professor and since 1959 associate professor at DePaul University. In 1960 he was a visiting professor in Buenos Aires and in the same year as a post-doc at the Institute Henri Poincaré in Paris. In 1961 he became associate professor in 1963 and professor at Washington University in St. Louis, where he was from 1967 to 1970 chairman of the mathematics department. He has been a visiting professor at the University of Geneva (1964 /65), the University of Paris-Sud (1970 /71), the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa ( 1980), in Madrid and Beijing. 1987/88 he was at MSRI as the organizer of a program for classical analysis.

In 1967 he received the Chauvenet Prize ( for his book Harmonic Analysis contribution ). In 1994 he became an honorary doctorate in Milan and Barcelona.
