The Peter Carr Memorial Conference will honor the life and career of Peter Carr, our beloved teacher, scholar, and colleague. Through the sharing of research that spans various domains and disciplines, this conference aims to memorialize Peter, his contributions to financial engineering, and the legacy he’s left behind for generations of professionals and academics to extend and follow. This conference will be co-hosted at NYU's Brooklyn Campus by the Tandon School of Engineering and the Society of Quantitative Analysis (SQA), where Peter served as chair and director, respectively.

Call for Presentations/Papers: The FRE Department will be soliciting abstracts from academics and practitioners for financial engineering papers to be presented at the conference.

More details will be provided as they become available.
