The PFS encourages the creation, translation, and dissemination of research from cross-disciplinary faculty members by hosting faculty research talks; coordinating access to computing and data resources; providing research support and assistance to affiliated faculty; disseminating research to the broader community through the PFS Newsletter; and overseeing fellowships and grants.
Interaction between students, program faculty, and the external community provides valuable insights that enable the program to support research activities that are relevant to academia, policy and regulatory authorities, and the financial industry.
