About
Rama Cont is Statutory Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and Head of the Oxford Mathematical and Computational Finance Group. He holds additional positions as Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for New Economic Thinking and Director of the Oxford Martin Programme on Systemic Resilience.
Cont's research focuses on stochastic analysis and mathematical finance, particularly modeling extreme market risks, systemic risk, and developing pathwise approaches in stochastic analysis. His recent work explores causal functional calculus, fractional Ito calculus, and analysis of deep neural networks.
His publications demonstrate consistent development of mathematical frameworks for financial risk analysis, including recent advances in causal transport theory and market microstructure modeling. Cont received the Louis Bachelier Prize in 2010 and was elected SIAM Fellow in 2017 for contributions to stochastic analysis and financial modeling.
