Winter School on Risk, Stochastic, Finance and Insurance
24-28 December, 2018
About
The sole purpose of National Winter School on Risk, Insurance, Stochastic and Finance in 24-28 December 2018 is to provide a stimulating intellectual environment for researchers from all over Pakistan to interact. The school is primarily oriented towards PhD students and young researchers working in the area of Stochastic Analysis and its applications to Mathematical Finance and Actuarial Mathematics. This school is especially targeted at encouraging gender balance in mathematics.
The program of the school is organized over one weeks. It includes 5 mini-courses on chosen topics given by the main speakers and working group’s sessions. The mini-courses titles and lecturers are: Introduction to Actuarial Mathematics (Dr. Sultan Hussain) ; Computational Aspects of Fixed Income Securities/Quantitative Finance (Dr. Ferhana Ahmed) ; American Option Pricing (Dr. Nasir Rehman) ; Stochastic optimal control (Azmat Hussain) ; A rigorous introduction to Stochastic integration in Hilbert Spaces (Dr. Javed Hussain)
