About

Overview

Ioannis works in quantitative methods on both the development of numerical techniques and applications in the fields of operations research and management science, finance, actuarial science and sector studies, including derivatives, risk management, shipping, commodities, pension product design and communication, stock returns forecasting and machine learning.

His recent research contributions have appeared in Operations Research, the European Journal of Operational Research, Mathematics of Operations Research, Tourism Management, Transportation Research Parts A and E, Review of Finance, European Financial Management, and others. He has served as a special editor for Risks, the International Journal of Finance & Economics and the Annals of Operations Research, as well as a reviewer for world-leading journals in the fields. He is currently Associate Editor of the Annals of Actuarial Science and member of the management chair committee of the Quantitative Finance and Risk Analysis (QFRA) Symposium.

He is the Director of the world-renowned MSc in Actuarial Science and MSc in Actuarial Management of Bayes Business School (formerly Cass). In addition to his work at City, he has been a visiting professor at the Università del Piemonte Orientale and an affiliate faculty at Cyprus International Institute of Management. Previously he worked for Lloyd’s Treasury and Investment Management.

Ioannis obtained his PhD in Finance from City, following his MSc in Risk and Stochastics from LSE with distinction, and his first-class BSc (Hons) degree in Actuarial Science from City. He holds the Diploma in Actuarial Techniques, is an affiliate member of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and acts as an independent examiner at several universities.

    Review specific products and processes and form an independent opinion as to whether the models are:

    Up to date – the methodology is based on the best evidence available to the academic community at the time the models are reviewed

    Detailed and parsimonious – the methodology used results in a model structure that is as simple as possible, while still capturing all essential characteristics and producing the essential and necessary level of detail; that there is a balance between the inclusion of additional characteristics and the need to keep the model manageable, interpretable and evidence-based

    Transparent – the methodology used is transparent. The model results are valuable for the users and the methodology reveals the logical connection between inputs and outputs and does not turn the model into a “black box”
