Goncharov won a gold medal at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1976. He attained his doctorate at Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1987, under supervision of Israel Gelfand with thesis Generalized conformal structures on manifolds.[1] Goncharov was an Invited Speaker at the 1994 International Congress of Mathematicians and gave a talk Polylogarithms in arithmetic and geometry.

In 2019, Goncharov was appointed the Philip Schuyler Beebe Professor of Mathematics at Yale University[2], as well as the Gretchen and Barry Mazur Chair at the Institut des hautes études scientifiques.[3]

gollark: Solar has problems, apparently, like high energy input to make and the obvious one of batteries.
gollark: Yes, we should be actually using those.
gollark: Space travel is HIGHLY energetically expensive so space oil mining is very bees.
gollark: Yes, we should be using fission and such, but silly people don't like it.
gollark: Oh yes, it has lots of hydrocarbons, doesn't it.
