Daniel Conus

Daniel Conus is an Associate Professor of Mathematics and Associate Chair in the Department of Mathematics at Lehigh University. He co-directs the MS in Financial Engineering program, bridging academic research with practical financial applications. His research focuses on probability theory, stochastic modeling, and their applications in finance, economics, and catastrophe modeling. Dr. Conus has contributed to advancing methodologies in stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs), quantization algorithms, and risk assessment for extreme events.

Key research areas include:

• Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes
• Financial Mathematics and Derivatives Pricing
• Catastrophe Modeling and Resilience Assessment
• Intermittency Phenomena in SPDEs

His recent work emphasizes the development of stochastic models for seismic hazards, ecological systems (e.g., bat carrying capacity in Africa), and financial derivatives. Collaborations with industry and interdisciplinary teams highlight his commitment to real-world applications of mathematical theory.
