The Nomura Centre for Mathematical Finance

The Nomura Centre for Mathematical Finance ("NCMF") was established in 2001 with the support of the Nomura Group. The NCMF sits within the Oxford Centre for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, which is part of the Mathematical Institute, Oxford University.

The Centre's aim is to promote research in mathematics and finance, with a special emphasis on approaches that combine practical relevance with mathematical interest.

The NCMF supports several academic posts including a Junior Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow and Distinguished Visitor positions, and graduate students under the United Kingdom's Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council CASE Awards scheme. The Centre supports a seminar series in mathematical finance.

Distinguished academics have contributed to the annual lecture:

• 2007: Dr Peter Carr, Head of Quantitative Financial Research at Bloomberg LP and Director of the Masters in Mathematical Finance at Courant Institute, NYU
• 2006: Professor Stephen Ross, Franco Modigliani Professor of Finance and Economics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• 2005: Professor Daniel Kahneman (Princeton), winner of the 2002 Nobel Prize for Economics
• 2004: Professor Paul Embrechts (ETH-Zurich)
• 2002: Professor George C Papanicolaou (Stanford)
• 2001: Professor Robert C Merton (Harvard), winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize for Economics
