Doctor Honoris Causa, University of Paris VII, 2011. Lagrange Prize (ICIAM), 2019. Publications Over 200 research publications with the more recent ones listed in http://virtualmath1.stanford.edu/papanico The research publications are in waves and diusion in inhomogeneous or random media and in the mathematical analysis of multi-scale phenomena that arise in their study. Applications come from electromagnetic wave propagation in the atmosphere, underwater sound, waves in the lithosphere, diusion in porous media, etc. Both linear and nonlinear waves and diusion are studied, in both direct and inverse problems, and in imaging in particular. Research publications are also in nancial mathematics, the use of asymptotics for stochastic dif- ferential equations in analyzing complex models of nancial markets and in data analysis, as well as the modeling and analysis of systemic eects in multi-agent systems and interacting markets.
