Biography
Dr. Darren Shannon is a Lecturer in Quantitative Finance in the Department of Accounting and Finance, University of Limerick, and a researcher in the Emerging Risk Group (ERG). Prior to receiving his PhD in Applied Statistics, he completed an MSc. in Computational Finance, and a BSc. in Mathematics. He has contributed heavily to two EU H2020 research projects (VIDAS and Cloud-LSVA) that identified and addressed emerging risks associated with conventional and highly-automated vehicles. Darren continues to be engaged with the research community on facilitating the timely integration of advanced-tech vehicles onto public roads. His research focus is split between developing high-impact outputs for emergent topics in finance (green finance, application of ML/DL models), and for transportation safety and risk pricing (econometrics of road collisions, the insurability of connected and autonomous vehicles).
