Welcome
For over two decades, the Center for Computational Finance and Economic Systems (CoFES) has collaborated with many academic and industry partners to develop prominent research pipelines and provide students with simulated training environments, internship opportunities, and real-world projects where they can apply their computational, statistical and mathematical techniques to understand the health of an economy and its market environments. Visit our Top Stories webpage for more details.
In addition to our programs in research and higher education, we are committed to deepening the widespread understanding of quantitative finance and the analysis of economic systems. CoFES and its partners have hosted engaging short courses, workshops, symposia, and honorary lectures.
The center’s flagship event, the Eubank Conference on Real World Markets, has brought together an array of leading experts in the field to discuss technologies to get the most out of data and the creative development of probabilistic and statistical modeling methods to understand and address pressing industry issues. The Eubank Conference has been possible due to the generous support of academic and industry sponsors.
