Engineering and Technology, Sciences
+ Research topics
My research focuses on numerical probabilities stochastic simulations, with a particular interest in Monte Carlo methods. These methods are essential for solving complex problems in various fields such as finance, engineering, physical sciences by enabling precise estimations through random modeling and simulation techniques. My work contributes to the improvement of Monte Carlo algorithms, thereby optimizing their efficiency and applications.
