Research Interests: 

I am a DPhil student in Mathematical and Computational Finance group which is a part of Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I have a Masters degree in Mathematical and Computational Finance from University of Oxford. I also have a BS(Mathematics) from COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Pakistan. I am a member of Lady Margaret Hall and an associate member of Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance.

I am working on mortgage backed securities with Dr. Ben Hambly. I worked on the techniques of modelling and pricing these securities in a structural framework for large portfolios. This involves proving the existence and uniqueness of resulting stochastic partial differential equations, solving them numerically and estimating the parameters using market data through calibration.
