blue-and-yellow-graph-on-stock-market-monitor-159888

The research of this group is mainly concerned with mathematical and statistical modelling of systems evolving randomly in space and time. The group has a particularly strong reputation and interest in developing and applying the theory and methods of stochastic processes to financial risk management.
