John Joseph Benedetto (born July 16, 1939) 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[1] and has directed 63 Ph.D. students.[2] 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.[3]

He was a Senior Fulbright-Hays Scholar (1973–1974),[4] and was awarded the 2011 SPIE Wavelet Pioneer award.[5] He is also a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society[6] and a SIAM Fellow.[7]

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 a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1964.[8] He was the first student to receive a Ph.D. from then 37-year-old Chandler Davis. His dissertation was The Laplace Transform of Generalized Functions.

Garrett Birkhoff was the thesis advisor of Chandler Davis, and Birkhoff did not have a Ph.D. but was a member of the Society of Fellows at Harvard.[9]

Publications

Benedetto is founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Fourier Analysis and Applications, founded in 1994 and published by Springer-Birkhäuser. He is also founding and current editor of the Springer-Birkhäuser Applied and Numerical Harmonic Analysis book series. He has edited or authored 18 books and published over 185 research papers. Some of his books are the following.
