Moschovakis earned his
Ph.D. from the
University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1963 under the direction of
Stephen Kleene, with a dissertation entitled
Recursive Analysis. In 2015, he was elected as a
fellow of the
American Mathematical Society "for contributions to mathematical logic, especially set theory and
computability theory, and for exposition". For many years, he has split his time between UCLA and the
University of Athens (he retired from the latter in July 2005). Moschovakis is married to
Joan Moschovakis, with whom he gave the 2014
Lindström Lectures at the
