Research Field

Non-linear Financial Problems

Research Theme

My major research interest is to understand various non-linearity in finance, for which the traditional techniques of financial engineering are not applicable. In recent years, I have been working on the mean field game theory, which is the large-population limit of symmetrically interacting agents, in a probabilistic approach by making use of forward-backward stochastic differential equations of McKean-Vlasov type.
