Two of our students among the 6 finalists for the best thesis in finance organized by Financial Media!

Louvain-La-Neuve, Mons

Nhung Luong and Guillaume Dequenne, two of our graduate students last year, were invited on January 10th to defend their thesis at Passage 44 in Brussels before an impressive jury of around twenty CFOs. This prize is for the first time organised by Finance Media, a professional finance organisation with several hundred members, which publishes the "CFO Magazine".  

Nhung's work, carried out under the supervision of Professor Marcel Gérard, focuses on the tax challenges of multinational companies active in the digital domain, such as Google and Facebook.  

Guillaume's thesis, written under the supervision of Professor Frédéric Vrins, focused on the replication of derivatives using self-learning techniques (Machine Learning), and in particular on the identification of undervalued options.  

That is with great enthusisasm that the winner will be announced on February 7th, at an official ceremony...
