01 / Research

Questions at the meeting point of probability and computation.

My work connects stochastic models with their scaling limits, numerical methods, and applications in quantitative finance.

01

Stochastic processes

Hawkes processes, heavy-tailed systems, limit theorems, and the emergence of rough dynamics.

02

Monte Carlo methods

Sampling algorithms, high-resolution dynamics, and their behavior in challenging probability landscapes.

03

Financial mathematics

Rough volatility models, scaling limits, hedging, and option pricing.
