Prospective Students

I am always looking for self-motivated, hardworking PhD students with solid mathematics training, strong analytical ability and good programming skills. Students with a bachelor/master degree in math, applied math, probability, statistics are preferred, and knowledge in finance is not required. All interested candidates should apply for the Hong Kong PhD fellowship. Master degree is not a requirement for PhD application. Application details can be found in http://www.se.cuhk.edu.hk/programmes/mphil-phd.html. For inquiries about the application, please contact the department’s general office.

If you are interested in doing post-doc with me, please send me your previous publications, doctoral thesis and research plan. For post-docs, your PhD field must be financial mathematics, probability, statistics, applied math, math or a field that is closely related to my research.
