OUR VISION
The agenda of this laboratory is to produce innovative and cutting edge statistical solutions to modelling in applied Financial risk and Insurance.
We focus on innovative and emerging areas of high impact to research, regulators, industry and practitioners that require research level academic developments both of a fundamental nature and a practical quantitative nature.
This laboratory is specifically interested in modelling applied numerical and methodological financial risk problems of signficance in the financial industry and regulators - as such it aims to develop strategic partnership of a research nature with industry.
Big data analytics in risk and insurance is an emerging field that is covered in many reserach themes in this laboratory
The QRSLab is a collective of many different research skills and expertise in multidisciplinary working group.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE QRSLab ON RESEARCH PROJECTS or honours, MSc., Ph.D. or Post doctoral opportunities - see contact information .
The axioms of Frederico Ardila (Todo Cuentan) nicely capture some axiomatic principles which we subscribe to in QRSLab.
Axiom 1. Mathematical potential is distributed equally among different groups, irrespective of geographic, demographic, and economic boundaries.
Axiom 2. Everyone can have joyful, meaningful, and empowering mathematical experiences.
Axiom 3. Mathematics is a powerful, malleable tool that can be shaped and used differently by various communities to serve their needs.
Axiom 4. Every student deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.
