2021-22 Libby Awardees
Congratulations to the 2021-22 recipients of the Richard Libby Graduate Research Award
Somak Maitra & Kejin Wu (both advised by Dimitris Politis)
Richard Libby ('80, MA '82, PhD) received his degrees in mathematics at UC San Diego. His generous contributions support graduate student research in our department in the areas of market analysis, quantitative finance, and related fields. This includes, but is not limited to, research exploring the measurement, estimation, and implications of extreme events on financial markets and the broader economy with the potential to cause breakdown and systemic risk. The research may also include the extent to which the risks associated with these events can be managed by financial institutions, regulators, and households, along with the possibility of predicting and quantifying the magnitude and frequency of such events.
