After a postdoctoral position at Purdue University, he moved to York University, in whose department of Mathematics and Statistics he is a Professor and former department chair. His research area is probability theory and stochastic processes, including applications of Brownian motion to actuarial finance. He has been a co-editor-in-chief of the\u00a0<em>Canadian Mathematical Bulletin<\/em>\u00a0and an associate editor of\u00a0<em>Probability Theory and Related Fields<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Potential Analysis<\/em>, and the\u00a0<em>Canadian Journal of Statistics<\/em>. He is a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS), and of the Fields Institute, and won the CMS's\u00a0<em>Graham Wright award<\/em>\u00a0in 2015. He teaches financial engineering at York, was director of analytics at\u00a0<em>Quantitative Wealth Management Analytics group<\/em>\u00a0(QWeMA) prior to the latter's acquisition by CANNEX, and led the\u00a0<em>Finsurance<\/em>\u00a0project at MITACS-MPRIME.
