George C. Papanicolaou (; born January 23, 1943) is a Greek-American mathematician who specializes in applied and computational mathematics, partial differential equations, and stochastic processes. He is currently the Robert Grimmett Professor in Mathematics at Stanford University.




Biography


Papanicolaou was born on January 23, 1943, in Athens, Greece. He received his B.E.E. from Union College and his M.S. and Ph.D. from New York University (NYU) in 1969. His PhD thesis, performed under the supervision of Joseph Bishop Keller was entitled "On Stochastic Differential Equations and Applications". At NYU, he started out as an assistant professor in 1969 before moving up to associate professor in 1973 and finally professor in 1976. Later, in 1993, he relocated to Stanford.
He has had 42 doctoral students and 220 descendants. He is married, with three children.




Publications


Papanicolaou has more than 250 publications on a wide range of topics, including imaging, communications and time reversal, waves in random media, convection-diffusion, nonlinear waves, high contrast materials, mathematical finance, and homogenization.




Recognition


George Papanicolaou is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and he is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Mathematical Society (AMS), and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). He was a plenary speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1998 and the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) in 2003. He was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship (1974), a Guggenheim Fellowship (1983), the von Neumann Lectureship from SIAM (2006), the William Benter Prize in Applied Mathematics (2010), the Gibbs Lectureship of the AMS (2011), and the Lagrange Prize from ICIAM (2019). He received an Honorary Doctor of Science, University of Athens in 1987 and a Doctor Honoris Causa, University of Paris VII in 2011.
