Research Interests: 

I am a University Lecturer in Mathematical Finance and Tutorial Fellow in Mathematics at St Catherine's College. My doctorate from the University of Heidelberg is in scientific computing, my first degree from Linz in applied mathematics.

Current research includes, mathematically, the numerical analysis of high-dimensional PDEs, non-linear PDEs and variational inequalities, simulation of SPDEs, Bayesian techniques for parameter estimation problems. Application areas include the pricing of equity and credit basket derivatives, calibration of financial instruments, early-exercise options and valuation and investment in incomplete markets
