Daniil Parfenov

About me

My name is Daniil Parfenov. Currently I am a PhD student in Finance at Bocconi University.
I am also a member of cryptocurrency research laboratory at Bocconi and a part-time member to the "New Trends in International Finance" laboratory at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO-university).

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Economics (2020) from Moscow State Institute of International Relations and a MSc in International Financial Economics from University of Konstanz (2022).

Previously I was a member of M&A team at KPMG Moscow, and a research/teaching assistant at the Chair of Statistics and Econometrics at the University of Konstanz.

My primary research interests lie at the intersection of asset-pricing, financial econometrics and machine learning. I am also looking for alternative approaches to study macroeconomic growth, drawing inspiration largely from thermodynamics.
