PhD position available in "Statistical Methods for Geosciences" - Politecnico di Milano Dept. of Mathematics
by Simone Vantini 20 May '14

20 May '14

*Position:*PhD position in "Statistical Methods for Geosciences" in Mathematical Models and Methods in Engineering. *Institution:*Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy. *Duration:*3 years, beginning November 1, 2014. *Monthly net income:*1.200 euro. *Deadline for applications: *14:00 (GMT+1:00), May 23, 2014. *Details for applications: *please click here <http://www.dottorato.polimi.it/en/looking-for-a-phd/call-for-positions-and-…>. *Motivations and objectives of the research in this field:*Problems characterized by high-dimensional and complex data have become more and more common in engineering. Due to their complexity, in many situations these data contain redundant information since their underlying structure may involve only a reduced number of relevant features. This research aims at developing new methods for the detection of suitable subspaces where data (possibly spatially-dependent) can be represented, interpreted and analyzed. The interest extends also to the identification of suitable basis, which should capture the relevant geophysical features of the phenomenon under study and allow for computationally efficient statistical analysis. *Methods and techniques that will be developed and used to carry out the research:* The PhD program aims at training young researchers by providing them with a strong mathematical background and with ability to apply their knowledge to the solution of real-world problems in the areas of Statistics and Scientific Computing. *Educational objectives:*The PhD students carry their research both in the development of new mathematical methods and in the implementation and improvement of advanced techniques in connection with specific contexts and applications. Further information can be obtained by consulting the dedicated website http://www.mate.polimi.it/dottorato *Job opportunities:* Job opportunities are in companies and research agencies which are leaders in their respective fields. -- Simone Vantini MOX Laboratory for Modeling and Scientific Computing Dept. of Mathematics "F.

Mini corso Prof. Luciano Campi
by Luca di persio 20 May '14

20 May '14

Il Prof. Luciano Campi[ London School of Economics ] sarà ospite del Dipartimento di Informatica dell’Università di Verona [ Strada le Grazie, 15 - Vr ] nei giorni dal 26 al 30 Maggio 2014 e terrà un mini corso dal titolo ” *A primer on stochastic control and portfolio optimization* “ *Abstract*: We will give a short introduction to stochastic control in continuous time with some applications to optimal investment problems. In particular, after giving some examples of control problem which are relevant in finance and insurance, we will turn to the dynamic programming principle (DPP), which is the main tool to obtain the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) partial differential equation describing the local behaviour of the value function. Under some regularity conditions, solving this HJB pde gives a method to find (at least theoretically) the optimal solution. We will apply this approach to solve some problems of optimal investment, e.g. the classic Merton problem of optimal investment and consumption. articolato in tre lezioni che si terranno presso il Dipartimento stesso nei giorni di - Lunedì 26 Maggio [ Aula D, 14:30-16:30 ] - Martedì 27 [ Aula F, 14:30-16:30 ] - Mercoledì 28 Maggio [ Aula D , 14:30-16:30 ] Per informazioni contattare: luca.dipersio(a)univr.it __ Luca Di Persio - PhD assistant professor of Probability and Mathematical Finance Dept.
