Welcome to the homepage of Dávid Zoltán Szabó!

I am an Associate Professor at Corvinus University of Budapest and currently a Visiting Researcher at UTS Business School, University of Technology Sydney.

My research lies at the intersection of financial economics, stochastic control, and quantitative decision-making under uncertainty. My main research interests include real options and optimal investment timing, derivative pricing, asset pricing, and financial risk management.

Much of my work explores applications in energy markets, electricity trading, and technological transitions, with a particular focus on clean technology adoption, investment incentives, and the role of uncertainty in financial and economic decisions.

My research has appeared in leading international journals, including Research Policy, European Journal of Operational Research, and Applied Energy.

Alongside my academic career, I have gained industry experience as a Quantitative Analyst at UBS and Morgan Stanley, providing a practical perspective on financial modelling and risk management.

I hold a PhD from the University of Manchester.

For further information about my research and publications, please see my Curriculum Vitae.
