Ino Loukidou

I am a 4th year graduate student at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Chicago.

Previously, I did my undergrad degree in Greece, at the University of Athens.

Here's my CV.

Research

I'm mathematically intersted in geometry and topology. In my everyday life, I most usually deal with sphere-filling curves, 3-manifolds, and Expanding Thurston maps. My advisor is Danny Calegari.

Music

I play the guitar since I was 6. I went to the Music High School of Pallini and in 2021 I got my degree from the National Conservatory of Greece, under the instruction of Astrinos Karagiorgakis.

Some videos of me performing

From my most recent performance at the UChicago chamber music program.
From my performance in 2025.

And some very old videos that happen to be on YouTube:

From a summer festival.
From a concert in my high school.

Other stuff
