Research:
The research lies within the FWO group project Design of new models and techniques for high performance financial applications. This project is concerned with new models and techniques for robustly and efficiently pricing modern financial products, in particular exotic options. To this purpose we investigate numerical methods for partial differential equations that form multi-dimensional extensions of the celebrated Black-Scholes equation. The nature of the research is both theoretical (analysis and design of methods) and practical (implementation and performance analysis of the methods).
Profile:
- you have a masters degree in mathematics
- last year students can apply
- you can show excellent study results
- you have knowledge of and experience with numerical methods for (time-dependent, partial) differential equations and share an interest in mathematical price models for modern financial products such as options.
We offer:
- a scholarship for a period of four years
