Talks and presentations

I have travelled worldwide to give academic talks, often attending the International Longevity Risk and Capital Markets Solutions Conference (Longevity) currently held by Bayes Business School in the University of London. Through this conference, I have given talks in Lyon France, Chicago USA, and Amsterdam Netherlands.

Below is a full list of talks I have given, with slides and/or documents (when applicable).
