The 2nd Midwest Actuarial Research Seminars

We are pleased to announce the 2nd Midwest Actuarial Research Seminars (MARS), a one-day event to be held at the Purdue University West Lafayette campus. Building on the success of the first MARS, this event continues our mission to foster high-impact actuarial research and strengthen scholarly connections within the Midwest and beyond. 

This year's MARS will feature an in-person keynote address by a distinguished international guest scholar, Professor Jan Dhaene from KU Leuven. In addition, the program will include several invited presentations by actuarial researchers from the Midwest region. We sincerely hope that this event will benefit the Midwestern actuarial science community by promoting meaningful exchanges of ideas, and enhancing the visibility and impact of Midwestern actuarial research group within the broader actuarial community and across related disciplines.

Acknowledgment: We are also grateful for the generous financial support from Lincoln Financial Group, a long-standing industry partner of the Purdue Actuarial Science Program. The event would not have been possible without the enthusiastic participation of a dedicated and supportive group of colleagues across the Midwest actuarial community.

The Organizing Team: Shimeng Huang, Haibo Liu, and Jianxi Su
