Quantitative Finance @ Bocconi first edition

Quantitative Finance blends together theoretical models and numerical approaches that lie at the intersection of probability theory, mathematical finance and applied sciences like statistical physics and information sciences. These are also at the core of the new wave of recent technological innovations like 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 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.

The first edition of the conference 'Quantitative Finance @ Bocconi' will reunite a leading group of world leading experts, see the program below, to the opening of the new PhD program in mathematics and applications, explore new theoretical and applied solutions, and celebrate the career of an early member of the MAFINRISK faculty Fabio Mercurio that has contributed to the profession.
