Demetrios Christodoulou is a Greek-American mathematician-physicist, well known in the field of general relativity for his proof, together with Sergiu Klainerman, of the nonlinear stability of the Minkowski spacetime of special relativity in the framework of general relativity. Christodoulou was born in Athens and received his doctorate from Princeton University under the direction of John Archibald Wheeler.

- Demetrios Christodoulou is a Greek-American mathematician-physicist, well known in the field of general relativity for his proof, together with Sergiu Klainerman, of the nonlinear stability of the Minkowski spacetime of special relativity in the framework of general relativity. Christodoulou was born in Athens and received his doctorate from Princeton University under the direction of John Archibald Wheeler. He has taught at Syracuse University, the Courant Institute and Princeton, with stints at Caltech and CERN. He is currently on the faculty of the ETH Zurich in Switzerland. In 1993, he published a book coauthored with Klainerman in which the extraordinarily difficult proof of the stability result is laid out in detail. In that year, he was named a MacArthur Fellow. He is a recipient of the Bôcher Memorial Prize, the highest award of the American Mathematical Society, and he is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, among numerous other honors. In 2007, he published a book on the formation of shock waves in 3-dimensional fluids. In 2008 he was awarded the Tomalla prize in gravitation and cosmology. In 2009 he published a book where a result which complements the stability result is proved. Namely, that a sufficiently strong flux of incoming gravitational waves leads to the formation of a black hole. Demetrios Christodoulou also calculated an upper bound for the amount of energy that can be extracted by the Penrose process, a process for extracting energy from a rotating black hole.
- Christodoulou nacque ad Atene e conseguì il suo dottorato all'Università di Princeton sotto la direzione di John Archibald Wheeler. Insegnò all'Università di Syracuse, al Courant Institute e a Princeton, con lavori assegnati a Caltech e al CERN. Attualmente si trova alla facoltà dell'ETH Zurich, in Svizzera. Nel 1993, pubblicò come coautore un libro insieme a Klainerman dove la difficile dimostrazione del risultato di stabilità viene straordinariamente spiegato nei dettagli. In questo anno fu nominato membro del MacArthur. Beneficiò del Bôcher Memorial Prize, il più alto riconoscimento della Società Matematica Americana, ed è un membro della Accademia Americana di Arti e Scienze, fra le numerose altre onoreficenze. Nel 2007 pubblicò un libro sulla formazione delle onde d'urto nei fluidi tridimensionali. Nel 2008 ebbe il premio Tomalla in gravitazione e cosmologia. Nel 2009 pubblicò un libro dove viene dimostrato una conseguenza che completa il risultato di stabilità. Vale a dire che un flusso sufficientemente forte di onde gravitazionali in arrivo conducono alla formazione di un buco nero.
