We are delighted to share that Andrea Buffoli, PhD Candidate in Actuarial Science and PhD Student Representative at Bayes Business School, has recently started a research project at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, working within the Directorate General Economics, Fiscal Policies Division.

Andrea's research interests span quantitative finance, actuarial science, stochastic control, and reinforcement learning, with a particular focus on applications to portfolio optimisation and long-term financial decision-making under uncertainty.

This opportunity represents an important step in bridging academic research and policy-oriented economic analysis, allowing him to contribute to projects at the intersection of economics, public policy, and quantitative methods.

Andrea is pursuing his PhD under the supervision of Iqbal Owadally and Russell Gerrard.

We congratulate Andrea on this achievement and wish him every success in his research at the ECB

Influence can often separate strong performers from standout leaders.

Building visibility, earning trust and being able to adapt the way you communicate helps others see your vision. This enables you to build valuable relationships, shape decisions and drive impact.

⏳ Just one week to go until our next alumni webinar!

Join us for 'Influencing at a Senior Level', the final session in our Spring/Summer 2026 Alumni Learning Series.

What a way to prepare for London Tech Week!

Last week, Bayes Business School and the Institute for Creativity and AI were delighted to host the very first Bayes AI Global Forum, bringing together leaders, researchers, alumni, students, innovators and industry partners for an afternoon of lively discussion on London as a Global Hub for AI Innovation.

Across parallel discussion streams and our closing panel, we explored some of the big questions shaping the future: how AI companies navigate different markets, what trust and governance really look like in practice, and how organisations can prepare future talent for a rapidly changing world.

At Bayes, we are proud to bring out events like this, bringing together academia, global partners and talents, creating a space where organisations and institutions can collaborate to turn ideas into meaningful partnerships.

A huge thank you to our sponsors Alibaba Cloud and Fotor for bringing a valuable global perspective to the conversation. And to all of our fantastic speakers, moderators and organisers for sharing their insights and experience and helping to make the forum such a success.. This is only the beginning. The Bayes AI Global Forum will now be an annual event, and we are already looking forward to the next conversation.

We are pleased to announce the establishment of the Industry Board for Actuarial Science at Bayes Business School.

The board brings together senior leaders from across the actuarial and wider financial services industries to strengthen collaboration between academia and practice, provide strategic industry insight, and help ensure our teaching and research remain closely aligned with current and future market needs.

We are very grateful to the inaugural members for their time, expertise, and support. Their contribution will be invaluable in helping to shape the direction of our programmes and enhance student outcomes.

This is an important step in deepening our engagement with industry and reinforcing our commitment to producing highly skilled, work-ready actuaries.
