Silvia Lavagnini

I am a last-year PhD candidate with the supervision of prof. Fred Espen Benth. I have a four-year position including one year of in-house training in an international energy company in Oslo.

My research is centred around stochastic analysis and mathematical finance, with a particular focus on markets for energy, weather and commodities.
