"Binomial trees, risk-neutral probabilities, brownian motion and Black-Scholes are part of many courses here (...) All students who aim to study a quantitative MSc ought to take your course." (student of my Introduction to Options and Futures class, fall 2023; personal email).

"I took your Introduction to Options and Futures class last semester and I can confidently say it was one of the best classes I have taken in my educational journey. Your lectures were clear and engaging, and you made this challenging topic very approachable. I just wanted to thank you for a great course, and for furthering my interest in the more quantitative side of finance." (student of my Introduction to Options and Futures class, fall 2022; personal email).

"I love the respect you have for your students and the seemingly non-formal and relaxed environment you create for learning a topic that is quite difficult." (student of my Introduction to Options and Futures class, fall 2022, anonymous evaluation) 

"A lot of interaction, great choice of movie quotes, classes where you feel at ease and not boring like a lot of classes where you just sit there and listen to a random guy for hours. Thanks for that, I had a great time in your classes." (student of my Introduction to Options and Futures class, fall 2021, anonymous evaluation)

"I am hard pressed to recall a class where I’ve learnt more, or had a teacher as good and engaged. If I ever manage to get my PhD and become a professor myself, I will definitely draw inspiration from your classes.  [...] No ass kissing intended!" (student of my Introduction to Options and Futures class, fall 2018, personal email)

"You did something that no teacher ever did to me: you inspired. You inspired to think, to be passionate and to be yourself." (student of my Financial Management class, fall 2015, personal email)
