Academic Awards and Distinctions
Redington Award, Awarded every three years by Society of Actuaries. In 1999 award was given for the paper by Phelim P., Boyle, Corwin Joy and Ken Seng Tan entitled "Quasi Monte Carlo Methods in Numerical Finance." This paper was also judged to be one of the ten classic papers in investment (published in the last 50 years) by the Society of Actuaries. It was reprinted in a special monograph along with the other nine classic contributions.
Highly Commended Paper Award from the Institute of Actuaries UK for paper by Phelim P. Boyle and Ken Seng Tan, "Scrambled Low Discrepancy sequences with Applications to Exotic Options." Forthcoming in Journal of Economics Dynamics and Control.
First prize for best paper (out of 23) at Canadian Institute of Actuaries Symposium on Segregated Funds. Joint paper entitled "Valuation of Reset Option in Seg. Fund Contracts using Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods."
