About CoFES
The Center for Computational Finance and Economic Systems is dedicated to the quantitative study of financial markets and their ultimate impact on society. By integrating the talents of economists, finance experts, computational scientists, engineers and other disciplines, CoFES will advance the boundaries of modeling and computational science in this important arena. Using a systems approach CoFES seeks to enhance academic disciplines, business operations and economic policy.
The creation of CoFES represents Rice University’s commitment to this important area of intellectual inquiry. A key component of the research center is the integration of probabilistic and mathematical modeling for complex, multidisciplinary investigations. Rice University is well suited for this endeavor because of its exceptionally bright student body; its distinguished faculty in engineering, business and economics; its world-class resources in high-performance computing; and an unusually flexible and collegial environment in which to pursue interdisciplinary research and education.
