Jorge Berlanga
@jorgeberlanga
Quantitative Researcher and Data Scientist with expertise in Python, R, and statistical modeling.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
As a Quantitative Researcher and Data Scientist at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, I specialize in stochastic processes and financial mathematics. My academic journey includes teaching probability, statistics, and data analysis, as well as mentoring students in advanced stochastic processes.
My technical proficiency spans programming languages like Python and R, along with libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and TensorFlow. My research focuses on potential theory for discrete Markov chains, particularly in risk assessment, and I've developed mathematical models for asset pricing using the Heston Model.
I am fluent in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, which has facilitated my work on international projects and collaborations. My passion lies in creating innovative solutions for complex financial and data analysis challenges, driving advancements in quantitative finance and beyond.
