STOCHASTIC PROCESSES IN FINANCIAL DATA AND BIOPHYSICS

since he published "Introduction to phase transition and critical phenomena"



Financial firms on Wall Street put out welcome mats for physicists over a decade ago. People with physics Ph.D.s
hold about half of the so-called quantitative analyst positions at such institutions, says Wall Street
headhunter Robert Long of the Denison Group in New York City. "And they significantly
outnumber economists," he adds.

Recent activity at the interface of statistical physics and economics is partly due to the finding that
financial data exhibit power-law spatial or temporal scaling behaviors commonly encountered in
many different natural phenomena. The common features for those systems is that the power-law
spatial or temporal scaling behavior extends over several decades. My work is concerned with stati-
stical modeling of long-range power-law correlated complex systems where tools developed in both
statistical physics and economics are employed.
