PhD
I am looking to take one or two new PhD students in Finance or Financial Engineering for the academic year 2026-2027. If you are interested in applying to the PhD program at HEC Montréal and working under my supervision, please contact me by email.
MSc students already enrolled at HEC Montréal
If you are interested in working under my supervision for your MSc thesis or supervised project, please contact me by email. The initial email requesting supervision for a supervised project or thesis should include the following elements:
- If it is for a thesis or supervised project, and for a supervised project if it is to be done with an industry partner.
- Expected start and completion date of your project.
- A list of topics of interest to you or potential research questions.
Note that I am often overbooked for supervision. I will either try to book a meeting with you to discuss your project further or recommend other professors in line with your topics of interest.
For MSc students not already enrolled at HEC Montréal, please see the MSc program page.
