NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, February 8, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The International Association for Quantitative Finance (IAQF) and Northfield Information Services have named Paul Glasserman, the Jack R. Anderson Professor of Business at Columbia University’s School of Business, the 2020 IAQF/Northfield Financial Engineer of the Year (FEOY). The award will be presented to Professor Glasserman at a celebration when it is safe to reconvene again.
Upon his acceptance of the award Glasserman remarked, “It's a great honor to join the distinguished list of past recipients. It's a particular honor to be selected by a group that combines eminent practitioners and academics. This group embodies the ideal of integrating theory and practice.”
Northfield President Dan diBartolomeo commented on the news “Paul Glasserman is great choice to join the long list of outstanding FEOY recipients. His many contributions to our field span academia, the private sector, and government. Often his work has been focused in areas of profound importance to the entire financial system. Paul has gained further prominence in recent years with the increasing interest in data science approaches to gaining insight into the complex workings of financial markets. We look forward to an award ceremony worthy of his outstanding accomplishments.”
The annual IAQF/Northfield FEOY Award, established in 1993, recognizes individual contributions to the advancement of quantitative finance. A nominating committee of approximately 100 people, consisting of all the IAQF governing boards, submits nominations, which are reviewed in a two-step process by a selection committee of 25 members. The selection committee includes the IAQF board of directors and senior fellows and was chaired by Dr. Francis Longstaff, an IAQF senior fellow and 2018 FEOY award winner.
