Research Collaboration
IADU pursues joint research with universities, independent mathematicians, and research institutions whose work intersects with stochastic control, mean field games, and mathematical finance. We collaborate on defined mathematical problems and publish the results.
Forms of Collaboration
Joint Research
Collaborative work on a defined mathematical problem, with results published under both institutions. IADU contributes research staff, computational infrastructure, and publication support. The collaborating institution brings complementary expertise and co-authorship. Joint research is scoped in writing before work begins and governed by a formal collaboration agreement.
Visiting Fellowships
Formal visiting fellow appointments for researchers undertaking extended collaborative work with IADU. The visiting fellow gains access to IADU's research infrastructure, co-authorship on joint output, and IADU affiliation for the duration of the appointment. Appointments are made by invitation following a written research proposal.
Methodology Partnerships
Framework and methodology sharing with research centres working on overlapping problems — PDE methods for stochastic control, numerical schemes for high-dimensional HJB equations, MFG solution algorithms. These arrangements are lighter than full joint research and are governed by a standard collaboration MOU.
Academic Licensing
Universities and graduate programmes may license IADU course materials and research frameworks for institutional curriculum use under an annual academic licence. The licence covers teaching use only and includes attribution requirements. Commercial use requires a separate agreement.
Who We Work With
We collaborate with researchers and institutions whose work is mathematically rigorous and whose research questions overlap with IADU's programme. We do not require institutional affiliation — independent researchers with an active publication record are equally welcome.
University Departments
Mathematics, statistics, operations research, and economics departments working on stochastic analysis, PDE theory, or quantitative finance.
Independent Researchers
Researchers with doctoral degrees and active publication records in relevant mathematical areas, regardless of current institutional affiliation.
Research Centres
Specialist institutes working on mathematical physics, stochastic processes, computational finance, or related quantitative disciplines.
Collaboration Process
-
01
Written Proposal
Submit a written description of the research problem, your background, and the form of collaboration you are proposing. Include a list of relevant publications. We respond in writing within five business days.
-
02
Assessment
We assess the proposal against our current research programme and the fit between our respective specialisations. If there is a meaningful overlap, we will arrange a written exchange to discuss scope and structure.
-
03
Collaboration Agreement
All collaborations are governed by a written agreement covering authorship, IP, publication rights, and duration. No work begins before the agreement is signed by both parties.
Submit a Collaboration Proposal
Written proposals only. Include your research background, a description of the problem, and a list of relevant publications.
