► Research Fields
✔️ Financial pricing and hedging theory; risk measures, counterparty credit risk, XVA analysis; machine learning techniques, uncertainty quantification, model risk; and related mathematical topics in the fields of BSDEs/PDEs and numerical probabilities.
The project research of candidates will be discussed depending on their background and motivations
► One possible topic (indicative: the project research of candidates will be discussed in an interview depending on their background and motivations): Markovian ABSDEs.
✔️ [...] Anticipated BSDEs (ABSDEs) were introduced in (Peng et al. 2009) as BSDEs where the coefficient entails a dependence with respect to the solution in the future. This was done in an abstract semimartingale setup. The study of these equations in Markovian framework, however, remains an open problem. [...]

► Conditions to apply
✔️ PhD (or defense by spring) in in probability, statistics and computer science, with publication in the top academic journals.
► Prerequisites
✔️ Theoretical background: Probability and, if possible, Statistics ✔️ Domain knowledge: Mathematical Finance and if Possible, Machine Learning ✔️ Languages: Fluent English (spoken and written). French welcome but not mandatory. |
► Funded by: the Chair Capital Markets Tomorrow: Modeling and Computational Issues, Statistical learning methods on simulated data in finance. Collaborative research with younger (PhD) students is encouraged. No mandatory teaching but teaching opportunities at all (including master) level.
