Work History

Postdoctoral Researcher

Ecole Polytechnique
06.2024 - Current
  • In talks with BNP Paribas Asset Management team to implement a dynamic stock portfolio allocation model using BSDEs and deep learning methods
  • Working on the paper "Numerical approximation of Markovian BSDEs in infinite horizon and elliptic PDEs"
  • Upcoming project on using deep learning methods for predicting European option greeks which measure the sensitivity of the option price with respect to various parameters.

PhD Applied Mathematics

University of Bordeaux
Bordeaux
10.2020 - 05.2024
  • Used deep learning methods to solve a dynamic stock portfolio allocation problem with a distribution-dependent optimization criterion, which allows for more flexibility with the risk-to-reward trade-off.
  • Developed efficient algorithms for solving BSDEs in infinite horizon using deep learning. Achieved state-of-the-art performance in higher dimensions.
  • Developed excellent scientific communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations. Learned to improvise approach and think clearly in high pressure situations.
  • Participated in team projects, demonstrating an ability to work collaboratively and effectively.
