Quantitative Finance brings together theoretical models and numerical methods at the intersection of probability theory, mathematical finance, and applied sciences. These disciplines also lie at the heart of the recent wave of technological innovation, including decentralized finance on public blockchains and artificial intelligence.
Bocconi University has a long-term tradition in teaching quantitative finance with the MAFINRISK long-term program while releated research activities that take place in the Departments of Decision Sciences and Finance. These activities are now enriched by the opening of the new PhD program in mathematics and applications, and the interaction with the Department of Computing Sciences as witnessed by the jointly organized activities, like the Interdisciplinary workshop on machine learning and financial decision making and the conference on AI and Finance.
In the first edition of the conference 'Quantitative Finance @ Bocconi' we reunite a leading group of world leading experts to explore new theoretical and applied solutions, and celebrate the career of an early member of the MAFINRISK faculty and the recipient of the 2020 Risk quant-of-the-year award, Fabio Mercurio, whose research has shaped how quants and the financial industry think about rates and volatility.
