Research Interests: 

I am a third year DPhil student at the Mathematical and Computational Finance Group/Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance. I hold a BSc in Mathematics (Universite Pierre & Marie Curie - Paris 6), a Diplome d'Ingenieur (MSc in Engineering - Ecole Centrale Paris) as well as an MSc in Mathematical and Computational Finance (University of Oxford). I am a member of the Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance. My Supervisor is Prof Mike Giles and I am a scholar of Lady Margaret Hall.

My research focuses on improving Monte Carlo methods. I am currently working on the recent Vibrato and Multilevel Monte Carlo techniques and their use for the computation of Greeks.
