Finance / Banking / Insurance

My hybrid career path extends from academia to the financial industry. Originaly a computational physicist, I developed algorithms and methodologies for the first robo advisor by a bank: the Swissquote's e-private banking plateform. I later published a doctoral dissertation on the topic focusing on portfolio optimization (bank and client side) and market risk forecasting. Besides my current role at CS in digital finance I am acting as a lecturer at EPFL and Brussels University for which I created the course Financial Big Data.
