Research
My research focuses on the analysis of PDEs, inverse problems in physics, and computational methods for financial mathematics. My research interests are twofold: (1) I develop mathematical tools to analyze the partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern the pricing of financial assets, and I also work on inverse problems with broad applications in physics; (2) I develop computational, statistical (GARCH), and machine learning algorithms to analyze the forecasting power of these analytic methods. More specifically, the problem of solving PDEs that govern asset prices forward in time is ill-posed. This means that small perturbations in the initial conditions (noise) can result in drastically different behavior of solutions (future prices). I use regularization methods to solve these ill-posed problems and then apply machine learning methods to reduce the effect of noise, thereby decreasing the probability of non-profitable transactions.
Teaching
Currently teaching MATH 2450-114 and MATH 2450-111: University Calculus III.
I’ll be teaching MATH 3350-D22 (Higher Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists I) this summer.
