Below are the details of current Ph.D. students of the Mathematical Finance group in Manchester.


Omid M. Shaikh-Soltan

mousa@maths.man.ac.uk

2008 under Peter W. Duck and Paul V. Johnson

Thesis topic: tba

Omid completed his B.Sc. in Computer Science and Mathematics in 2007. After finishing his degree he took a gap year travelling across Asia. After doing some "soul searching", he decided to do a Ph.D. in Mathematical Finance. His chosen topic is still undecided, watch this space!

2006 under Peter W. Duck and David P. Newton

Thesis topic: Multi-dimensional Quadrature, weather derivatives

Having dabbled in the world of investment banking and making some serious cash, he realised that his love for maths was too great and so returned back to University to resume studying. Though, being an ex-banker was still motivated by money and decided to pursue a post-grad in financial mathematics. The soon-to-be doctor has aims to "aspire to inspire before [he] expires".


Dong-Mei Wang (Emma)

dwang@maths.man.ac.uk

2006 under Peter W. Duck and David P. Newton

Thesis topic: Monte Carlo, illiquid markets

The subject of her research is the advanced Monte Carlo method to solve with variant option pricing problems, including multiple dimensions, jump diffusion and corporate debt. Recently work looks at pricing financial derivatives in an illiquid market by simulation methods.


Honaida Malaikah

h.malaikah@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk

2005 under Sergei Fedotov

Thesis topic: Long memory stochastic volatility
