Seminar focuses on applied problems in modern finance where various mathematical methods and computer science techniques can be used. The main goals of the seminar are to discuss recent developments / models in industry and research, show how statistical methods can be used for solving business problems in a structured way, advance students' technical skills, formulate potential projects and discuss the progress on existing projects.
Topics of interest at the seminar include any topic where statistical methods can be used, mainly
