My research interests:
- Stochastic Control (Game)
- (Backward) Stochastic Differential Equations
- and their Applications in real-world markets
My research focuses on stochastic control and (backward) stochastic differential equations (BSDEs/FBSDEs), with applications to real-world markets—including finance, commodities, and electricity systems. I develop analytical frameworks to solve optimal stopping/control problems, particularly those involving stock trading strategies and financial derivatives pricing under market/hazard risks. Additionally, I also investigated the existence, uniqueness, and regularity of complex BSDEs/FBSDEs arising in the topics above.
If you have any questions regarding my research or want to collaborate, feel free to contact me anytime. I am looking for highly motivated students. Feel free to drop me an email with your CV and transcripts.
