As a post-doc he worked for two years at the University of Blaise Pascal Clermont-Ferrand II and at the Instituto de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados del Politecnico Nacional in Mexico City . From 1978 he was a university assistant at the Johannes Kepler University Linz and then at the University of Vienna (and in the meantime an actuary at Generali Versicherung in Vienna in 1982/83 ), where he became a university professor for applied mathematics and statistics at the economic faculty from 1993 to 1998. He was then a university professor at the Vienna University of Technology and head of the Institute for Business Mathematics and has been a professor at the mathematics faculty of the University of Vienna since 2008. Among other things, he was visiting professor at the University of Paris-Dauphine .

He has been a full member of the Academia Europaea since 2016 .

Academic focus

Schachermayer initially dealt with functional analysis and later with financial mathematics and stochastic analysis . He became known in specialist circles primarily through his joint results with Freddy Delbaen on martingale measurements and no- arbitrage (fundamental theorem of asset pricing, see also freedom from arbitrage ). He also dealt with portfolio optimization and financial market models with transaction costs.
