Luis Vega González (born 16 July 1960) 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 (UAM) under Antonio Barba with thesis El multiplicador de Shrödinger la función maximal y los operadores de restriction.[1] 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 (BCAM).[2]

For brief periods (mostly in the summer) 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.[2] He was twice at the Institute for Advanced Study.[3]

He is a co-editor of the Journal of Evolution Equations (since 2009) and the Journal of Fourier Analysis and its Applications (since 2010) and general editor of La Revista Matemática Iberoamericana (since 2011).[2]

In 2006 Vega was Invited Speaker with talk The initial value problem for nonlinear Schrödinger equations at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid, Spain.[4] He was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society and received the Premio Euskadi de Investigación in 2012. He received the Blaise Pascal Medal in 2015.[2]
