Moris Strub joined the SUSTech Business School in October 2019. His main research directions are in the areas of Portfolio Selection, Behavioral Finance and Economics, Mathematical Finance, Risk Management, and Robo-Advising. Moris particularly enjoys applying mathematics to solve real-world problems which require insights from various fields. He has obtained a BSc in Mathematics and MSc in Applied Mathematics from ETH Zurich, both with distinction, and a PhD in Financial Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Before joining SUSTech, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and a Staff Associate at Columbia University.
