Stochastic Analysis, Filtering, and Stochastic Optimization

​George Yin received his Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics from Brown University in 1987. He joined the Department of Mathematics, Wayne State University in 1987, and became Professor in 1996 and University Distinguished Professor in 2017. He moved to the University of Connecticut in 2020. His research interests include stochastic processes, stochastic control, systems theory, and applications. He has served on the editorial board of many journals; he is the Editor-in-Chief of SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization. He is a Fellow of IFAC, a Fellow of IEEE, and a Fellow of SIAM. Thaleia Zariphopoulou received her Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Brown University in 1989. She holds the Presidential Chair of Mathematics and the V.F. Neuhaus Professorship of Finance at UT-Austin. Previously, she was the Laun Professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and from 2009-2012, the first holder of the statutory Oxford-Man Chair in Quantitative Finance at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. She is the Editor of the SIAM Series in Financial Mathematics and serves in the editorial board of many journals, among which the SIAM journals SICON and SIFIN. She has also been the Vice-Chair (2007-2010) of the SIAG Activity Group in Financial Mathematics and Engineering, and has served as Vice-President (2004-2006) and President (2006-2008) of the Bachelier Finance Society. In 2012, she was elected SIAM Fellow. Her research interests include stochastic optimization and financial mathematics.
