The Department of Finance and Risk Engineering welcomes Ioana Boier, Head of Quantitative Portfolio Solutions at Alphadyne Asset Management, to the BQE Lecture Series.
Title
Computer Science for Finance (Beyond Programming)
Abstract
Artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies have taken finance into the realm of bold 21st century economic and tech experiments. From a quant perspective, it is exciting to witness a major shift from explicit modeling to a data-driven approach that extends beyond high-frequency and systematic trading to all styles of investing. For those embarking on a career in quantitative finance, it is important to be aware of the broader spectrum of modeling capabilities computer science has to offer. In this talk, I plan to highlight some of those techniques with concrete examples.
