Felix Höfer

I am currently a fifth-year graduate student in the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering (ORFE) at Princeton University where I am advised by Professors H. Mete Soner and Emma Hubert. 

I obtained an MASt from the University of Cambridge (Part III Mathematics) and an MSc from the London School of Economics and Political Science. I completed my undergraduate studies at the Universities of Hamburg and Mannheim.

My research focuses on stochastic optimal control, with particular interest in mean-field games, contract theory and their applications in macroeconomics. More recently, I have also worked on modern computational approaches to dynamic finite-player games.

Selected presentations can be found here.
