Alexandra Dias
Alexandra works in the area of quantitative finance, in particular in applications to risk management. Her main interests are problems involving the modelling and estimation of several finance variables simultaneously. Especially she focuses on the analysis of dependence structures with copulas, extreme events with extreme value theory, structural changes and nonlinear relationships in finance. She has been working in models for multivariate foreign exchange rates, multivariate estimation of portfolio large losses, changes in FX rates dependence structure and more recently in the modelling of nonlinear time dependence in equity markets.

Anthony Neuberger
Anthony is interested in robust derivative pricing models and hedging methods. He works on the bounds on the prices of American and other exotic options that are enforced by hedging strategies that are robust to model error. Another strand of his research is on model free interpretations of implied volatility and volatility skew. He is also interested in corporate hedging and risk management more generally, as well as the use of derivatives in investment management.

Paul Schneider - Director of FORC
Paul is interested in the intersection between traditional pricing theory and continuous-time econometrics. He focuses in particular on time-series consistency of option pricing models and parametric inference for multivariate models. Paul is currently working on the empirics of model-free estimates of the covariance between index returns and implied variance, and on developing nonlinear as well as matrix-valued variance drivers.
   

WEBBER PICTURE 04
Nick Webber
Nick works mainly in computational finance and derivatives pricing. His main research interests include interest rate modelling, lattice methods, modelling with Lévy processes and with copulas, and Monte Carlo methods applied to derivatives valuation. He is currently particularly interested in developing fast simulation methods for exotics in multi-factor models.
