Professor Peter Laurence initiated the thematic program at WPI on the mathematics for energy and commodity finance in 2010. Together with members of the organizing committee, Peter had a firm hand leading the thematic program up to August 2013, when he sadly passed away. Peter was very engaged at the WPI, organizing conferences and workshops, as well as intensive short training courses with a large audience from industry and academia. To honor his great contribution to mathematical finance in general, and the thematic program at WPI in particular, professors Archil Gulisashvili and Valery Kholodnyi will give the Peter Laurence Memorial Talks at the conference.
