Simmons himself often said that his career went through three stages: mathematician, investor and philanthropist, the press release reads.

As a mathematician, he served as chair of the Department of Mathematics at Stony Brook University in New York. During this time, Simmons made a number of mathematical breakthroughs that have had a profound impact on scientific research such as string theory, topology, and condensed matter physics.

In the investor stage, Simmons founded Renaissance Technologies in 1978, a hedge fund firm that pioneered quantitative trading and became one of the most profitable investment firms in history.

Subsequently, during his philanthropist career, he turned his attention to changing the world through the Simmons Foundation, the Simmons International Foundation, the American Mathematical Organization, and other philanthropic causes.

It is reported that in the investment community, Simmons is the most well-known as the "founder of Renaissance Technology Company" and the "father of quantitative investment". Simmons transitioned from academia to the world of investment at a young age. Rather than adopting the standard approach of a fund manager, he prefers quantitative analysis, which is looking in the data to predict the path of price changes. Due to the great success of this method, he himself became known as the "King of Quantification".
