معرفی
Max Nendel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Konstanz (2017), advised by Robert Denk and Michael Kupper. Prior to his current role, he was a junior professor at Bielefeld University’s Center for Mathematical Economics, where he was a Principal Investigator in the Collaborative Research Center 1283 and the Research Training Group 2865.
His research focuses on model uncertainty in economics, finance, and actuarial science, emphasizing valuation of financial/insurance products under uncertainty using nonlinear partial differential equations. He also explores mathematical aspects of regulatory policy, risk measures, and mean field games. His work bridges theoretical analysis and practical applications in quantitative finance and risk management.
Nendel’s recent research trends include advancing viscosity solution techniques for abstract Cauchy problems, optimal control under Lévy processes, and mean field game equilibria. He has contributed to foundational topics like convex semigroups, operator theory in mixed topologies, and risk aggregation under dependence uncertainty.
He has held research roles in Germany and Canada, with a strong record of interdisciplinary collaborations. His work is supported by grants from major research councils, reflecting his expertise in both pure and applied mathematics.
