Steven Shreve is the Orion Hoch Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business and the Mellon College of Science. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois in 1977, following his Bachelor's degree from West Virginia University in 1972. His research focuses on financial mathematics, particularly on models of derivative securities and optimal execution of large financial transactions. He has investigated the principal-agent problem in banking, particularly regarding the compensation of traders, and has developed continuous-time models using stochastic calculus for various financial problems. Additionally, he has worked on queueing systems, applying heavy traffic approximations to model discrete-event systems. His work often explores the dynamics of limit-order books and electronic trading scenarios. Shreve is actively involved in teaching executive education courses on stochastic calculus in finance since 2006 and has collaborated with faculty and students, including ongoing research with John Lehoczky and his Ph.D. advisee, Christopher.
