Biographical note
Lixin Wu earned his PhD in applied mathematics from UCLA in 1991. Originally a specialist in numerical analysis, he switched his area of focus to financial mathematics in 1996. Since then, he has made notable contributions to the area. He co-developed the PDE model for soft barrier options and the finitestate Markov chain model for credit contagion. He is, perhaps, best known in the financial engineering community for a series of works on market models, including an optimal calibration methodology for the standard market model, a market model with square-root volatility, a market model for credit derivatives, a market model for in inflation derivatives, and a dual-curve SABR market model for post-crisis derivatives markets. He also has made valuable contributions to the topic of xVA. Over the years, Dr. Wu has been a consultant for financial institutions and a lecturer for Risk Euromoney and Marco Evans, two professional education agencies. He is currently a full professor at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
