Athanasios Giannakopoulos

Athanasios Giannakopoulos serves as Professor at the Department of Statistics within the School of Information Sciences and Technology at Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB). His distinguished academic career includes appointments at University of Leeds (1993-1995), University of Warwick (1995-1997), University of Birmingham (1997-2000), University of Crete (2002), and University of the Aegean (2002-2007), where he held leadership roles including Deputy Chairman and Director of Postgraduate Studies.

Education:

• Physics BSc, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (1989)
• PhD in Statistical Properties of Dynamical Systems, University of Warwick (1993)

Research Focus: His expertise centers on Stochastic Differential Equations (ordinary/partial derivatives), Regressive Stochastic Differential Equations, and Stochastic Control Theory with applications in Insurance, Financial Mathematics, and Modern Technologies. His methodological approach integrates deterministic and stochastic dynamic systems for real-world problem solving in economics and technology sectors.

Professional Engagement: As Director of the Financial Mathematics Laboratory at University of the Aegean, he advanced quantitative finance research. He maintains active roles in American Mathematical Society and London Mathematical Society, while serving as reviewer for Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt fur Mathematik across stochastic analysis domains.

Laboratory Leadership: His direction of the Financial Mathematics Laboratory demonstrates commitment to bridging theoretical stochastic models with practical financial applications through interdisciplinary collaboration.
