Eugene Seneta Explained

Eugene B. Seneta (born 1941) is Professor Emeritus, School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sydney, known for his work in probability and non-negative matrices,^[1] applications and history.^[2] He is known for the variance gamma model in financial mathematics (the Madan–Seneta process).^[3] He was Professor, School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney from 1979 until retirement, and an Elected Fellow since 1985 of the Australian Academy of Science.^[4] In 2007 Seneta was awarded the Hannan Medal in Statistical Science^{[5] [6]} by the Australian Academy of Science, for his seminal work in probability and statistics; for his work connected with branching processes, history of probability and statistics, and many other areas.
