About Me

Hello and welcome to my homepage 👋

My name is Bennet Ströh and I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London and research associate at the Alan Turing Institute working with Professor Almut Veraart and Professor Axel Gandy. I am mainly interested in stochastic modeling of time series and spatio-temporal data using stochastic processes and random fields.

General interests
  • Mathematical Statistics
  • Applied Probability
  • Extreme Value Theory
Specific interests
  • Stochastic modeling of time series and spatio-temporal data

  • Statistical methods for stochastic processes and random fields

  • Non-stationary stochastic models

  • Lévy-driven stochastic models

  • Dependence measures and limit theorems

Sep 2017 – Nov 2017 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Staffed at a leading german electric utility company. Project goal was to validate an update in the companies solution for regulatory reporting of OTC gas and power contracts in the framework of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR). In particular I fulfilled the following tasks:

  • Conception and implementation of an error detection routine in Python to identify a violation of consistency constraints in the updated European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) reporting process for OTC gas and power contracts.
  • Implementation of an automated VBA-tool to create output files suitable for the updated EMIR reporting process.
  • Conception, implementation and conduction of structured tests according to consistency constraints published by the EU’s security market regulator ESMA.
