The 12th Western Conference on Mathematical Finance (WCMF 12) will be held at the
The conference will continue an almost two decades long tradition, with the main purpose of bringing together researchers from Western U.S. who work in the areas of quantitative finance, stochastic control and games, stochastic and statistical methods in finance and insurance, climate finance, decentralized finance, machine learning and reinforcement learning, and other areas to present recent works and foster new interactions. The conference pays strong attention to promoting researchers and academics in the early stages of their career. Graduate students are encouraged to participate.
Among many mainstream research subjects in mathematical finance, this conference will highlight some interdisciplinary subjects involving mathematics, financial economics, statistics and computer science, in the growing fields of Machine Learning in Finance, Decentralized Finance, Data Science and Fintech.
Registration is free, but required for all participants for the purpose of conference management. There is also a limited travel fund for supporting junior researcher and graduate student participants. The financial support will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
