Professional CV

Bio

My professional and academic experience come together in the financial markets. I have broad real world knowledge of the investing landscape, from the limit order book and market microstructure, to asset valuation using fundamental and quantitative methods. I have experience in compliance, developing models for MiFID II regulations, and in large scale project leadership and management, taking on and spearheading board-level projectes.

My academic background is in mathematics, completing my integrated masters at the University of Leeds in 2020, which is where I am currently conducting my doctoral research. I am well versed in a broad array of topics covering pure, applied and statistics, and my research focus is on optimal stopping games and stochastic calculus, two modern areas of mathematics closely related to financial engineering.
