Over Jean-Philippe Bouchaud
Jean-Philippe Bouchaud was born in France in 1962. After studying at the French Lycée of London, he graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris, where he also obtained his PhD in physics. He was then appointed by the CNRS until 1992, where he worked on diffusion in random media. After a year spent in the Cavendish Laboratory (Cambridge), Dr Bouchaud joined the Service de Physique de l’etat Condensé (CEA-Saclay), where he worked on the dynamics of glassy systems and on granular media. He became interested in theoretical finance in 1991. He founded the company Science & Finance in 1994 with J.-P. Aguilar, that merged with Capital Fund Management (CFM) in 2000.
His work in finance includes extreme risk control, correlations, alternative option pricing models and agent based models. He supervises with Marc Potters the research team at CFM. He was appointed as a professor at Ecole Polytechnique in 2008. He was awarded the IBM young scientist prize in 1990 and the C.N.R.S. Silver Medal in 1996. He has published more than 200 scientific papers.
