Research Summary
Optimal stopping problems appear in various forms in mathematical finance. For example, for pricing an American option on a stock one aims to determine the region of the stock price in which exercising is optimal. Traditionally, stock prices were modelled based on a Brownian motion. Recently, Lévy processes have received a lot of attention as they have the important feature that they allow the stock process to have jumps. One of my main research interests consists of (two-player) optimal stopping problems for Lévy processes.
Further research interests include mathematical insurance and other applications of Lévy processes.
