Professor Nassim Nicholas Taleb has recently been announced as new Co-Editor-in-Chief of Risk and Decision Analysis, a journal about risk mathematics, risk modeling and management, published by IOS Press.
Prof. Taleb has a background in complex derivatives and risk management of nonlinear payoffs. He was a trader for 21 years before becoming a full-time researcher. Currently, Prof. Taleb holds a position as Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at New York University's School of Engineering.
The journal Risk and Decision Analysis (RDA) emphasizes a theoretical and practical interdisciplinary vision of risk and its manifestations. RDA considers for publication research papers that contribute to a greater appreciation of risk mathematics, risk modeling and management and their broad application to general engineering, economic and financial systems, operational systems in industry and in the services, regulatory and control systems, eco-risks and urban systems, insurance, energy, safety and security, healthcare, environment, and related areas.
RDA's focus is on mathematical and systematic approaches to risk (statistics, probability theory), Bayesian statistics and learning, stochastic modeling, stochastic and optimal control in addition to quantitative approaches to extreme risks and their management.
