(ALM), trading strategies, credit cards scoring, credit rating, derivatives
pricing), Structured Finance (collateralized debt obligation (CDO), convertible
bonds, mortgage backed securities), Risk Management (optimization of tail risk,
Value-at-Risk (VaR), Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR), Expected Shortfall,
Credit Risk, Drawdown, option pricing) and military applications.

Consultant to American Optimal Decisions (AORDA). The AORDA decision-support tool Portfolio
Safeguard can minimize VaR, CVaR (Expected
Shortfall), Default Probability, Omega, Drawdown, and other tail risk functions.
Portfolio Safeguard can solve challenging quantitative finance problems, such
as, minimization of credit risk, portfolio replication, structuring CDO with
specified credit rating, asset and liability management, optimization of hedge
funds, hedging, and pricing of credit derivatives.
