It’s about knowledge - Research Cooperation

Research projects for the cooperation involve mathematical modeling for the financial markets with state of the art methods, machine learning techniques and data-driven implementation. The focus is to provide solutions for quantitative finance problems.

  • Academia - strong relations to academic cooperation partners include:
    • Ludwig Maximillian University Munich (Prof. Fries – QuantLab for Financial Math)
    • University of Verona (Prof. Gnoatto – Financial Math)
    • University of Cape Town (Prof. Taylor, Prof. McWalter – Financial Math)
    • Kings College London (Prof. Horvath – Financial Math)
    • University of Wuppertal (Prof. Ehrhardt / Prof. Günther, Computational Finance)
  • Topics
    • Option Pricing, Calibration and Hedging
    • Machine Learning and its applications in Finance
    • Proxies and Structures (Time Series, Smiles, Yield Curves, ...)
    • Numerical Methods (ODE/PDE, Simulation, Transforms, ...)
    • Accelerating and extending current methods
