Mathematical and Statistical Modeling

About the research group

The three areas of interest of the Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Research Group are mathematics, financial mathematics, and statistics. The group examines these fields particularly from the perspectives of mathematical and statistical modeling.

The members of the research group include professors, postdoctoral researchers, and doctoral students. The group actively collaborates with many Finnish and international universities, scientific research institutes, and other organizations. Group members publish their research primarily in international scientific journals, including leading journals in their fields such as Bernoulli, Journal of Functional Analysis, Journal für die Reine und Angewandte Mathematik, Mathematische Annalen, Review of Financial Studies, and Stochastic Processes and their Applications.
