Biography

Currently, I hold the position of Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, focusing on Actuarial Science and Statistics. I previously served as a Post-doctoral Fellow in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo from September 2021 to August 2023. My academic journey includes the successful completion of a PhD program at the London School of Economics, where I was supervised by Erik Baurdoux. I have a strong research interest primarily in the domain of Lévy processes and their application in solving optimal stopping problems, particularly in the fields of Insurance Mathematics and Financial Mathematics.
