Bo Peng specializes in credit derivatives risk. He had been gearing up for the academia until his postdoctoral research in chemical physics at Stanford, whereupon the law of supply and demand for food led him to Wall Street. His writings here are not related to his day job, however. They are merely results of his personal fascination with various aspects (quantitative, economic, operational, legal, etc) of capital markets, finance, and investment.
