Overview of Climate Risk Modeling in Insurance

Research Insights: Kwangmin Jung

Risk Sciences aims to foster diverse, multidisciplinary insights in risk sciences, bridging theory and practice through a series of academic activities. This talk is part of the "Research Insights" track of this series, presenting cutting-edge findings and methodologies, offering valuable perspectives to researchers and practitioners alike.

Kwangmin Jung, Ph.D, is an Associate professor at the Department of Industrial and Management Engineering, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea. He received his doctoral degree in Finance (with a focus on risk management and insurance) at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. His research explores the intersection of actuarial science, risk management and insurance, particularly studying data science and information technology in insurance, emerging risk analysis (e.g., cyber risk, climate change risk) and extreme risk modeling. 

This speech record is from Kwangmin's keynote speech for the Risk Sciences Colloquium – International Seminar on Climate Risks , to be held on January 16, 2025, in Seoul, South Korea.
