Grzegorz Hałaj

Grzegorz Hałaj is currently working for the ECB as a financial stability expert dealing with stress testing issues (Troika program country stress tests and the EBA/SSM EU wide stress test) and financial contagion modelling and assessment. Before, he worked in the ALM office of a private bank and as a researcher in financial mathematics and in contagion studies (Warsaw School of Economics, CORE in Louvain-la-Neuve, King's College in London and Fields Institute in Toronto). He holds a PhD in financial mathematics and his research interests have been recently focusing on agent-based modelling of contagion and banks' behaviours in light of the theory of the optimal portfolio choice.
