Regular biography
Paul Johnson is a Senior Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at The University of Manchester. His research focuses on mathematical modelling within finance and economics, particularly in areas involving uncertain price and physical flow systems, leading to non-linear PDEs requiring numerical solutions. His work spans finance, banking, renewable energy, mining, and revenue management systems. Johnson leads a team of PhD students addressing energy and finance challenges. His research contributes to several UN Sustainable Development Goals, including affordable and clean energy, decent work, and climate action.
Scholar-generated biography
Paul V Johnson is a Lecturer in the School of Mathematics at the University of Manchester, specializing in Computational Finance, Financial Mathematics, and Real Options. His research focuses on the application of mathematical models to financial and energy systems, particularly in the areas of stochastic modeling, optimization, and risk management. Johnson's work includes the valuation of energy projects with storage, the use of partial differential equations (PDEs) for dynamic optimization, and the development of numerical techniques for complex financial instruments. His research also addresses the economic and operational challenges of energy systems, such as wind power generation and nuclear emergency response.
