About

I am a Master of Science candidate of Mathematics in Finance at NYU Courant. I am currently seeking internships in quantitative finance. Before coming to NYU Courant, I completed my undergraduate study majoring in Mathematics at Cambridge. I took various courses, including Linear Algebra, Analysis, Differential Equations, Vector Calculus, Probability, Statistics, among others. I found applicable math particularly interesting, and finished computable programs in Matlab about differential equations solving, approximants and optimization. Following my studies at Cambridge, I took internships at a fund company and Haitong Securities. At the fund, I worked in the neural network group, and wrote features for the model in Python. These features were based on prices, returns, volumes, industries, conditional behaviors and combinations of them using data of stocks. For the internship at Haitong Securities, I worked as a researcher in the Portfolio Management Group. There, I studied the behaviors of funds, industries, and other topics to do statistical analysis with Python and Microsoft Excel. Now, as a Math Finance student at NYU Courant, I am looking forward to taking courses on math and finance, including Risk and Portfolio Management, Stochastic Calculus, and Computing in Finance. I believe this coursework will prepare me for internships in quantitative finance.
