Biography

Emmanuel has been a member of the ESRC (Economic & Social Research Council) Virtual Research College. He has also refereed for the EPSRC, National Science Foundation (NSF-USA) and the FWO (Belgium). He is a member of The Association of Business Schools (ABS) Programmes Steering Committee. He is director of the Institute of Finance and is a co-editor for 'Economics - The Open-Access, Open-Assessment E-Journal'. Emmanuel does research on how concepts from physics can be used in the social sciences (mainly economics and finance). Please see for instance:  http://www.le.ac.uk/ulsm/research/qdt/index.html   He also has an interest in other interdisciplinary applications. His social science publications have appeared (amongst others) in the Journal of Mathematical Psychology and the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control. His physics based  publications have appeared (amongst others) in Foundations of Physics and the International Journal of Theoretical Physics.
Together with Dr. Fethi and Professors Phil Molyneux (Bangor); John Wilson (St. Andrews University) and Sergei Fedotov (University of Manchester), an ESRC seminar grant was won on the topic of: Financial Modelling Post 2008: Where Next? With Professors Aerts and D’Hooghe, Emmanuel received funding of Euro 236,000 (approximatively £230,000 ($340,000) from the Fund for Scientific Research (FWO, Government of Flanders, Belgium) to test a general economic theory for financial option pricing based on the mathematical formalisms of quantum mechanics. Together with Dr. Caraini, Emmanuel received funding from the British Academy (£7,000) to work on non-linear modelling of macroeconomic dynamics. With Dr. Hiromu Ishio, Emmanuel was awarded £3,000 from The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation for the funding of a reciprocal visit between Japan and the UK "to collaborate on research linking quantum physics and finance leading to a new joint project in financial engineering for practical application".
