Christoph Knochenhauer – Mathematical Finance

Christoph Knochenhauer (f.k.a. Belak)

Assistant Professor • Technical University of Munich

Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor for Mathematical Finance at Technical University of Munich.

Most of my research is positioned at the intersection of Stochastic Analysis and Partial Differential Equations with applications in Finance. In particular, I am interested in the following topics:

▷ Stochastic Control Theory and Stochastic Games

▷ Viscosity Solutions of Partial Differential Equations

▷ Optimal Investment Problems

▷ Numerical Methods for High-Dimensional Partial Differential Equations
