We are delighted to share that Roxana Dumitrescu (CREST – Groupe ENSAE-ENSAI) has been awarded the 2026 EIF–SCOR Foundation Prize of the Institut Louis Bachelier in the category of Best Young Researcher in Finance and Insurance.

Roxana is an expert in stochastic control and financial mathematics, with a broad research scope. Her recent work significantly advances mean field game theory and its applications, particularly in the context of the energy transition.

Established in 2005, the prize is awarded annually to researchers under 40 who have made a significant contribution to finance, insurance, or risk analysis.

This year, the prize is jointly awarded to Roxana Dumitrescu and Sylvain Carré (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne). The award was presented by Elyès Jouini, Academic Vice-President of the Institut Louis Bachelier, alongside a representative of the SCOR Foundation.

This recognition speaks to the exceptional quality of her research and the growing attention it is attracting across the academic community.
