Presentation Transcript

  1. Mathematical Finance Research Groups • H-W was one of the first universities in the UK to establish a financial maths (as distinct from finance, probability or statistics) research group. • It is currently #2 in the UK based on full time members (Oxford is the biggest with 12, H-W has 10, LSE 8, IC has 7, Cambridge 6, Kings 6) • An important centre with links to all the other research groups (incl Birkbeck, Warwick, Manchester, City, etc.) • Has a history of industrial interaction (especially in insurance)

  2. Teaching • We offer post-graduate courses in Financial Mathematics (with UoE), Quantitative Risk Management, Actuarial Science • Typically 20 students study FM, 50 in Actuarial Science, QRM starts Sept 2008. • We are the only UK institution to teach financial mathematics (i.e. stochastic processes applied to financial markets) at BSc level. • Historical restrictions on student numbers mean there are only a handful of students taking the BSc in FM, this is to grow

  3. Energy • The ERP links leading research groups in financial maths and energy • Both subjects are key strategic areas to the university • UoE/H-W are a Beacons for Public Engagement: “encourage participation and understanding of areas of research relevant to public policy such as health and life sciences, energy and environment”

  4. Collaboration • Looking to link with the energy industry and academia • Knowledge Transfer Networks, Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, MSc dissertations, BSc projects/internships, CPD, consultancy • NOT cheap labour: looking for partnerships and a dialogue • Not exclusive to the ERP • EPSRC / Smith Institute • Involvement of Manchester, Strathclyde, Warwick, Birkbeck, etc. • Internationally, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, France, etc.
