The Hong Kong Laureate Forum's mission to connect scientists across generations and cultures deeply inspires me. As a maths PhD researcher, I am particularly drawn to how this Forum creates spaces where theoretical rigor meets interdisciplinary innovation.

Participating as an observer would allow me to engage with laureates whose groundbreaking work demonstrates maths' universal language, while connecting with international peers who share my passion for cross-disciplinary applications.

The Forum's focus on mentorship aligns with my commitment to scientific outreach. By observing how laureates communicate complex ideas, I aim to refine my ability to make advanced mathematics accessible - a skill I actively apply through teaching efforts at HKUST.

Coming from Russia to study in Hong Kong, I particularly appreciate the Forum's celebration of cultural diversity in science. I'm eager to both absorb knowledge from this global community and contribute insights from my cross-cultural research experiences to discussions about maths' evolving role in science and technology.

Thank you for considering my application.

My research focuses on the Multivariate Threshold CCC-GARCH model, analyzing its theoretical properties and statistical inference. I study:

1) Model Structure – Establishing stationarity, V-uniform ergodicity, and invertibility conditions

2) Estimation Theory – Proving strong consistency and asymptotic normality of QMLE estimators

3) Threshold Behavior – Deriving the convergence rate and limiting distribution of threshold parameter estimates
