John Crosby

John joined UTS in January 2017. He gained a first class honours degree in Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Girton College, Cambridge University before going on to study Electrical Engineering at University College, Oxford University. He began his career by trading fx options. He then moved to Monis (formerly London Business School Financial Software) where he researched and wrote their pricing libraries for a very wide range of exotic options as well as co-writing their three-factor Convertible bond model, which captured stochastic equity prices, interest-rates and default risk. He has then worked at First Chicago, Barclays Capital, Lloyds TSB Financial Markets and UBS where he has been responsible for developing advanced models for pricing and risk-managing a wide-range of complex derivatives. John is best known for publishing a number of papers on the subject of pricing commodity derivatives using a multi-factor jump-diffusion model and for being a co-author of the Carr-Crosby fx options model.
