Dr. Oldrich Alfons Vasicek works in mathematical finance, particularly on development of quantitative models of firms, financial instruments and financial markets. He was a founding partner of KMV Corporation, a firm pioneering the use of structural models for credit valuation. Earlier in his career, he was a Vice President in the Management Science Department of Wells Fargo Bank, a consultant to Gifford Fong Associates, and a special adviser to Moody’s KMV.
