He is married, with three children.[2]
Publications
Papanicolaou has published multiple papers on financial mathematics, especially stochastic volatility.[3][4][5] and the Black–Scholes model.[6][7]
Recognition
He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2000.[8] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[9]
