Research Interests: 

I am a final year DPhil student working in the Mathematical and Computational Finance Group and a member of St Anne's College. My research is jointly funded by a CASE award from the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and KBC Financial Products. My supervisor is Professor Sam Howison. I hold a Masters of Mathematics (MMath) degree from the University of Oxford.

My general interest lies in the area of Mathematical Finance. Currently, I am focusing on price modelling and asset valuation in electricity and carbon emission markets.
