Andreea C. Minca

Andreea C. Minca is an Associate Professor at the School of Operations Research and Information Engineering at Cornell University. She holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Paris VI Pierre et Marie Curie University (2011), an M.S. in Probability and Finance (2008), and a B.S. in Engineering from École Polytechnique (2007). Her research focuses on mathematical modeling in finance, particularly systemic risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk, with an emphasis on network-based structural models for financial institutions.

Research Interests:

• Financial Networks
• Complex Systems and Network Science
• Applied Probability
• Control of Epidemics in Random Graphs
• Liquidity and Credit Risk

Her work bridges financial engineering, network theory, and applied mathematics, addressing critical issues like systemic risk contagion and epidemic control in dynamic systems. Recent publications explore network resilience, optimal control of financial contagion, and stress-testing financial systems.

Awards:

• NSF CAREER Award (2017)
• SIAM Early Career Prize (2016)
• GARP Fellow (2014)

Her research has been published in top journals like Mathematical Finance and Finance & Stochastics. She also contributes to applied projects, including modeling epidemic spread dynamics and advising on financial stability frameworks.
