Research in stochastic optimal control and games. Worked on a new machine learning methodology for solving stochastic differential games with delay. This has been applied to solve financial models from areas such as systemic risk to competition between portfolio managers. The full research for this topic is shown here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.06450.pdfAlso, I worked on applying stochastic control and game theory to the Covid-19 pandemic using machine learning techniques to solve for Nash equilibrium policy decisions.
