Matheus

Matheus is a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at McMaster University. He specializes in mentoring students across multiple academic levels and has advised numerous postdoctoral fellows, PhD candidates, master's students, and undergraduate researchers. His academic focus spans mathematical economics, computational finance, and dynamical systems modeling.

Research Interests

His research explores complex systems in economics and finance, with a focus on agent-based computational models for financial networks, interbank liquidity dynamics, and macroeconomic stability analysis using dynamical systems theory. He also engages with stochastic processes in financial mathematics and interdisciplinary applications of computational modeling.
