Biography

Hans Amman is member of the Executive Board of Utrecht University and a professor of Economics and Management at the Utrecht School of Economics (USE). He got his doctorate in 1989 for his research in the field of Computational Economics. Together with his co-author David Kendrick from the University of Texas, this research earned him the second prize in the IBM 1990 Supercomputing Competition for the United States. He is the founding Editor-in-Chief of the international journals Computational Economics and Netnomics, co-founder and President (2000-2001) of the Society of Computational Economics and co-editor of the Handbook of Computational Economics, which appeared with Elsevier Scientific Publishers in 1996. In June 1994 Hans organized the first international congress on Computational Economics and Finance. His theoretical research concerns Computational Economics and Computational Finance, numerical issues of Stochastic Control Systems in Economics. He is involved with Financial Engineering projects that combine elements from Information Technology, High Performance Computing and Financial Decision making. Click here for my complete CV.
