Financial support from NSF is available for Ph.D. students and young researchers. This funding comes through two individual grants, one of them requiring proof of citizenship or permanent residency. Priority will be given to applications submitted before September 30, 2008. Late applications will be considering as long as funding remains available. Please click here for the webform.
The first round of notifications for the financial support will go out the
weekend of October 4 and the second round of notifications will go out around
October 27.

Description
The Activity Group on Financial Mathematics and Engineering focuses on research and practice in financial mathematics, computation, and engineering. Its goals are to foster collaborations among mathematical scientists, statisticians, computer scientists, computational scientists, and researchers and practitioners in finance and economics, and to foster collaborations in the use of mathematical and computational tools in quantitative finance in the public and private sector. The activity group promotes and facilitates the development of financial mathematics and engineering as an academic discipline.
Themes
The conference will highlight the latest research in financial mathematics and engineering, with an emphasis on the following themes:
- Credit Risk
- Stochastic control and investment
- Volatility trading and risk management
- Numerical methods I: Computational PDE methods
- Numerical methods II: Monte Carlo methods
- Commodities/Energy and Environmental Finance
