Carlos Eduardo Kenig (born November 25, 1953) is an Argentine-American mathematician and Louis Block Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Chicago.{{Cite web|url=http://math.uchicago.edu/~cek/|title=Carlos Kenig|website=math.uchicago.edu|access-date=2017-08-05}} He is known for his work in harmonic analysis and partial differential equations.
He was President of the International Mathematical Union between 2019 and 2022.
Career
Kenig obtained his PhD at the University of Chicago in 1978 under the supervision of Alberto Calderón. Since then, he has held positions at Princeton University and the University of Minnesota before returning to the University of Chicago in 1985. He has done extensive work in elliptic and dispersive partial differential equations. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 2014. His students include Zhongwei Shen, Kin Ming Hui, Gigliola Staffilani and Panagiota Daskalopoulos.
