Laurie Michael Carver is Lecturer in Banking and Finance in Southampton Business School, at the University of Southampton.
Laurie is an interdisciplinary researcher, working at the intersection of finance, mathematics, and computer science. His main research is on derivatives contracts, especially 'pathwise' or model-independent methods of valuation and risk management. He is interested in many aspects of financial economics -- especially market microstructure, equilibrium, efficiency, and regulation. On the pure mathematical side, Laurie also works in functional analysis, especially optimization on locally convex convergence vector spaces.
