Hello World!
Since September 2022, I have been a post-doctoral researcher in applied mathematics at CERMICS, Ecole des Ponts ParisTech (France).
In collaboration with Prof. Aurélien Alfonsi, I am currently working on stochastic Volterra equations and their applications in mathematical finance. Recently, we have been able to derive conditions ensuring the existence and uniqueness of a non-negative strong solution to a certain class of stochastic Volterra equations with jumps and non-Lipschitz coefficients. For further information, check out our latest preprint!
I obtained my Doctor of Philosophy at LPSM, Université Paris Cité in December 2021 where I investigated, under the supervision of Prof. Claudio Fontana and in collaboration with Prof. Alessandro Gnoatto, financial applications of Continuous-state Branching processes with Immigration (CBI).
I then moved to Università di Padova (Italy) where I worked from 2021 to 2022 as an assegnista di ricerca and where I concentrated on the theoretical aspects of CBI and related processes.
Research profile
My research interests currently revolve around stochastic processes and their applications in mathematical finance. More specifically, I demonstrate interests in the following areas of research:
- Stochastic differential equations.
- Stochastic Volterra equations (with jumps).
- Hawkes processes and their variants/extensions.
