Research Areas:
My research group is broadly interested in Optimisation under Uncertainty. Our work ranges from theoretical results to applications. On the theoretical side, we have worked extensively on the Skorokhod Embedding problem, and connections to Optimal Transport. On the applied side, expertise includes Robust pricing in Mathematical Finance, and Monte Carlo methods for applications to the Neutron Transport Equation.

Research Group:
Current Group Members:
PhD Students: Kevin Olding, Tom Davis, Marco Murtinu, Marcel Stozir, Na Eun Kim.
