Yang LIU 刘杨
Assistant Professor in Financial MathematicsCareer Profile
Dr. Yang Liu is an assistant professor in financial mathematics in the School of Science and Engineering (SSE) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen).
Prior to this, he was a postdoc advised by Prof. Jose Blanchet in the Department of Management Science & Engineering at Stanford University and a postdoc advised by Prof. Ruodu Wang and Prof. Alexander Schied in the Department of Statistics & Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo. He received his doctoral (2021, Advisor: Prof. Zongxia Liang) and bachelor degrees (2016) in Mathematics at Tsinghua University (THU).
He conducts research in financial mathematics, actuarial science, applied probability and operations research, including:
portfolio selection: stochastic control and utility optimization;
risk management: risk aggregation, risk measurement and risk sharing;
distributionally robust optimization.
Dr. Yang Liu is actively seeking postdoc and doctoral candidates and research students. If you possess a passion for academic research, a solid foundation in mathematics, and aligning research interests, you are welcome to make direct contact via email.
Here is a website of weekly seminar on risk management and actuarial science organized by Zhanyi Jiao, Liyuan Lin and Qiuqi Wang under supervision of Prof. Ruodu Wang. Interested scholars or students are welcome to join in.
