Nikolaos Englezos

Nikolaos Englezos is an Assistant Professor in Mathematical Finance at Columbia University. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematical Finance from Columbia University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, with prior degrees in Mathematics from the University of Athens. Currently serves as academic coordinator for the Erasmus+ program and previously held roles at the International Research Centre ICRE8 (academic director of the Department of Economics and Econometrics). His research focuses on advanced stochastic modeling techniques applied to financial markets, including Forward/Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (FBSDEs), stochastic control theory, and game-theoretic approaches to financial systems.

Education:

• Bachelor's in Mathematics, University of Athens
• M.Sc. and M.Phil. in Mathematics, Columbia University
