RESEARCH AGENDA

The research agenda of the centre covers:

  • Models and solution methods for optimisation under uncertainty.
  • Risk measures and optimum risk decisions.
  • Time series, stochastic volatility and interest rate models.
  • Modelling and solution algorithms of linear programming and discrete optimisation problems.
  • Robust estimation, systems identification and semi definite programming.
  • Stochastic models for asset and liability management.
  • Behavioural aspects of risk.
  • Statistical modelling.
  • Quantile regression for risk analysis.
  • Metaheuristics (and exact methods) in combinatorial and global optimization.
  • Clustering, data mining and image processing.
  • Supply chains, inventories, location and routing.
  • Distribution management.
  • Use of stochastic control in finance.
