Biliana Alexandrova-Kabadjova

Biliana Alexandrova-Kabadjova obtained her Ph.D. and Master degree in Computational Finance from the Centre for Computational Finance and Economic Agents and the Department of Computer Science in the University of Essex, UK (2007, 2003). She works in the Mexican Central Bank as a payment analyst. Nowadays she is permanent member of the Mexican System of Researchers and she is a Visiting Fellow for the University of Essex. Her main contribution has been built the most advanced model (in terms of complexity and realism) of the payment card market. She has developed a framework under which one can learn regulatory strategies and individual agent can learn business strategies. She has published several refereed journal papers, book chapters and conference papers. She currently is co-editing a book and her main research interests are in retail payments, large value payment systems and in agent-based computational economics.
