2022 COHORT

I’m currently a master’s student at the University of Michigan’s Master in Quantitative Finance and Risk Management program.

I have 3 internship experiences in securities and fund companies. During the process of my internship as a quantitative researcher, I tried to establish several A-share prediction models based on deep learning and machine learning algorithms. What’s more, during the research project with my professor, I had a preliminary cognition of the multi-factor models. In the past 3 years, I kept trading in forex, A-share, and cryptocurrencies with an annual return of about 17%, which enabled me to build a rigorous trading system of my own, gain trading experiences and develop my market sensitivity.

When it is outside of work, I usually go fishing, skiing, or take a short trip, letting me get closer to life, and become more expectant and passionate about my life.

I’m passionate about quantitative research/trading and plan on pivoting my future career into these fields.
