caption_attribution_description: Español: .El matemático Luis Vega ha recibido esta tarde el Premio Euskadi de Investigación 2012. El Lehendakari ha destacado el “afán divulgador y pedagógico” del matemático y ha subrayado su compromiso con Euskadi dadas sus responsabilidades en la Universidad del País Vasco y en Basque Center of Applied Mathematics (BCAM ). Iñigo Urkullu ha asegurado que Luis Vega ha contribuido a la apertura de Euskadi al exterior con sus estancias y colaboraciones con las Universidades más prestigiosas de Estados Unidos, Francia o Italia. Así, con este premio el ejecutivo vasco quiere agradecer y poner en valor el trabajo realizado por Luis Vega porque, según el propio Lehendakari, ha añadido a la investigación un “claro compromiso con la gestión pública, con la apertura al exterior de nuestro País y con la divulgación”, ha concluido. Luis Vega González (Madrid, 1960) se licenció en matemáticas en la Universidad Complutense en 1982. Se doctoró en 1988 por la Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). Tras una estancia de dos años en la Universidad de Chicago, se incorporó a la UAM. En 1993 se trasladó a la Universidad del País Vasco, de la que es catedrático de Análisis Matemático desde 1995. En la actualidad el profesor Vega es director del centro de investigación de matemáticas BCAM (Basque Center for Applied Mathematics), y un experto mundialmente conocido por sus trabajos sobre ecuaciones en derivadas parciales y análisis de Fourier
context_page_description: Luis Vega González is a Spanish mathematician, specializing in partial differential equations.
  Vega graduated from the Complutense University of Madrid with a bachelor's degree in 1982 and received his doctorate in 1988 from Autonomous University of Madrid under Antonio Barba with thesis El multiplicador de Shrödinger la función maximal y los operadores de restriction. Vega was a Dickson Instructor at the University of Chicago as a postdoc. He taught, as an assistant professor, until 1993 at the UAM and then at the University of the Basque Country, where he received a full professorship in 1995. He is the scientific director of the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics.
  For brief periods from 2000 to 2008, he was a visiting professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He was for brief periods a visiting professor at MSRI, Paris 12, Paris 13, École normale supérieure, École polytechnique, Institut Henri Poincaré, the University of Cergy-Pontoise, the Ennio de Giorgio Center of the University of Pisa, and the University of Washington. He was twice at the Institute for Advanced Study.
