Patterns that come up from nature, and their inherent beauty, have always been of my concerning. These structures are not only fascinating from an aesthetic point of view, but also because they specifically occur as a result of biological, chemical and physical processes. These might be the main reasons I pursued an undergraduate degree on Physics and a master’s degree on Applied Mathematics in the School of Sciences, National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

Felix is currently an assistant professor at the ITAM business school. His research areas include theoretical and empirical asset pricing, term structure modelling, portfolio theory and financial economics. Felix received his doctorate in financial engineering from the University of Zurich. Before joining the ITAM faculty, he held a Post-Doc position at the Bendheim Center for finance at Princeton University.

When organizations cross borders, it is not uncommon for them to experience all sorts of trouble. My great passion is to contribute to our understanding of the challenges and opportunities that firm internationalization has to offer. My educational background includes a B.A. in Business Administration from ITAM, an M.Sc. in Economics and Business Administration from the Norwegian School of Economics, an M.Sc. in International Management from the CEMS global alliance of business schools, and a Ph.D. in Strategy and Management from the University of St. Gallen.

He earned his law degree (LL.B.) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). He has completed his doctoral studies (summa cum laude) at Humboldt University, Berlin. In June 2016, his PhD thesis was awarded with the Faculty Price of the Faculty of Law of Humboldt University. In July 2016, he was elected a member of Mexico’s National Research System (SNI, level 1).

He is Full Time Researcher Professor. He graduated with honors from the Physics Engineering Undergraduate Program at ITESM campus Monterrey, has a Master in Theoretical Physics with cum laude honor from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and a PhD in Theoretical Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.

He worked as the Deputy Director of the Analytics area at Banorte Insurance and Pensions. He also worked in the Risk Analytics area at BBVA Bancomer constructing statistical and machine learning models for Credit Risk Management of different portfolios.

Xinyang obtained his bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Johns Hopkins. Attracted by the beauty of the general equilibrium theory, he did a doctorate study in economics at Yale. Xinyang's main research field is economic theory. He likes questions on modeling economic agents, how these agents interact in a cooperative or competitive environment, the connections between economic models, and all sorts of applications. His interests in economic theory are complemented by their mathematical correspondence, in particular, analysis.
