What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in quantitative finance that fosters growth and innovation.

I am an aspiring quantitative trader and developer with a solid foundation in physics, currently pursuing my MSc in Quantitative Finance at EMLyon Business School. My academic journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of statistical mechanics and financial modeling, complemented by hands-on experience in analytical techniques and machine learning.

Throughout my career, I have engaged in various research projects, including developing option pricing models and implementing risk measures. My work at the Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Hautes Energies allowed me to hone my skills in statistical modeling and complex system analysis. I am passionate about leveraging my quantitative and programming skills to contribute to financial modeling, profitability reporting, and data-driven decision-making.
