Interview
Please introduce yourself.
After graduating from high school, I went to the United States and studied mathematics at the University of Minnesota and the New York University Graduate School. After returning to Japan, I worked in the risk Facilities Management Office of a financial institution, and studied problems I had encountered in my work, while obtaining a doctorate in business administration from a graduate school for working adults. My hobby is watching student sports, especially college football and basketball, high school baseball, and high school kendo. I go to watch the Koshien tournament every summer.
Please tell us about your research.
I am conducting research on the quantification of financial risk and pricing models for financial derivatives.
What kind of contributions to society do you expect as your research progresses?
The development of financial risk management will make the flow of money throughout the world smoother.
What can you learn in the seminar?
You can learn risk management techniques and derivative product valuation methods used by real financial institutions. You can also acquire the knowledge necessary to obtain a securities analyst license.
Please say a few words to all the students.
The four years at university are a precious time in which you can use your time to concentrate on your studies. I hope you will take on the challenge of learning things you can only do now, so that you won't regret not having enough time after you enter the workforce.
