Sven Karbach
- I am an assistant professor for data-driven mathematical modelling and computing in finance at the University of Amsterdam.
- Open position: We currently have a joint‑PhD opportunity with Deep Blue Capital on machine learning for high‑frequency financial time‑series data. Read the full advertisement (applications close 30 June 2025).
- I am affiliated with:
- the Stochastics group at the Korteweg-de Vries Institute;
- the Computational Science Lab (CSL) at the Informatics Institute;
- and part of the AI4Fintech initiative.
- My current research focuses on the development of function-valued stochastic volatility models and non-parametric stochastic methods in finance. Specifically, I use stochastic (partial) differential equations to model market dynamics and develop approaches for optimal portfolio allocation within these markets.
- I recently received a research grant of €25,000 to work on "Deep Spatio-Temporal Hedging for Weather and Climate Risk Mitigation in Renewable Energy Markets" [Read more]
- Together with Simon Trimborn, I received a €35,000 grant for our project on "Risk Networks of Renewable Energy Markets". [Read more]
