Dr. Nelson Christopher Dzupire

SENIOR LECTURER
Mathematical Sciences

Research Areas

Multi-Objective Optimization,Econometrics,Financial Mathematics,

Profile

I have done my PhD studies in Financial Mathematics and have a passion for weather derivatives that can be used to hedge against risks due to climatic factors. Recently I have also developed passion in modeling credit risks especially with the mushrooming of village banks vs the conventional banking.
