I am one of the principle developers of information-based asset pricing, which is a novel stochastic framework for the pricing of a variety of asset classes including credit, fixed-income, equity, and insurance-linked assets. I speak at seminars and conferences where I present my research findings to academics and industry professionals. I am Associate Editor of the International Journal of Theoretical and Applied Finance.

My research benefits from fruitful collaborations with international researchers, doctoral students, and practitioners of the financial service industry.
