Biography

Katia Colaneri is Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics and Finance of the University of Rome Tor Vergata from June 2019. Before, she was Lecturer in Financial and Actuarial Mathematics at the University of Leeds (UK). In 2020 she got Habilitation as Associate professor in Mathematical Methods for Economics, Actuarial and Financial sciences. Katia has been awarded the Grant scheme 1 from the London Mathematical Society and the ACRI Award Young investigation Training Program. Her research interests include nonlinear filtering and optimal control problem under full and partial information and their application to pricing and hedging of financial derivatives and insurance policies and to risk management.

Research Programs & Projects

We want to propose new mathematical models that reproduce some stylized characteristics of defaultable markets and naturally include wrong-way risk. From a more technical point of view we aim to develop theoretical results that enable us to compute various prices adjustments of credit derivatives. One of our goals is to investigate in details the effect of a possible default of a reinsurance company on the price of reinsurance contracts and determine the hedging strategies that permit to reduce the insurance credit-risk profile.
