Statistics & Finance

I am a student of the last year of MA statistics program and BC economics program both at Charles University in Prague. Main fields of my interest are Markov chains, simulation methods, and financial calculus. All my theses (finished and developing) are based on stochastic processes. However, statistics, optimization, and finance takes significant part in most of them, too.

Chosen combination of college majors is giving me desired level of understanding mainly at fields of mathematics, statistics and finance, which I can easily build on in my professional career. Currently I am working at consulting company in Credit Risk team located in Czech Republic.

My personal goal is to get into and finish doctoral program in statistics or stochastic calculus with possibility to gain education in the other field almost up to the level of PhD graduate.
