About me
I am a PhD candidate in applied mathematics at CEREMADE, Université Paris Dauphine–PSL, under the supervision of Emmanuel Lepinette.
My research concerns stochastic modelling for quantitative finance, with a particular focus on the explicit computation of super-hedging prices and strategies in markets with transaction costs. My work draws on stochastic analysis, convex analysis and dynamic programming.
I also work on conditional random sets and concentration inequalities in Riesz spaces. These topics connect my research in mathematical finance with the ordered structures studied within RGOSA. My future research interests include climate risk modelling and green finance.
Research interests
- Mathematical finance: explicit recursive computation of super-hedging prices and strategies in discrete-time markets with proportional transaction costs, and dynamic programming for continuous-time markets.
- Random sets: conditional random sets in Polish spaces, with applications to the Skorokhod space.
- Ordered structures and probability: concentration inequalities in Riesz spaces, including Chernoff, Bennett and Hoeffding inequalities.
- Climate risk and green finance: future directions involving stochastic modelling of weather and extreme events, their financial and economic impact, and the pricing and management of climate-related risks.
