What do playing the violin and quantitative finance have in common? Both require patience, discipline, and a constant pursuit of precision. Having played the violin since I was five years old, I've learned that meaningful progress comes from curiosity, persistence, and attention to detail. Those same qualities continue to shape the way I approach quantitative research. I'm currently developing the analytical and computational skills needed to design systematic investment strategies through hands-on coursework and projects. My interests lie in quantitative research, statistical modeling, and asset management, with a focus on transforming financial data into actionable investment insights. Through research and internships, I've built ETF arbitrage strategies, developed quantitative backtesting frameworks, and explored alpha generation using genetic programming and machine learning techniques. I'm always excited to connect with professionals, researchers, and fellow students. If you share an interest in quantitative research or financial innovation, I'd love to connect and exchange ideas鈥攚hether virtually or in person. 听
