Amal Moussa, Ph.D. in Statistics 2011 “I currently work as a derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs where I am in charge of trading and risk managing equity exotic options and structured products on US stocks.” “During my Ph.D. I studied contagion and systemic risk in financial networks to highlight the importance of the network structure in identifying systemic financial institutions and formulating regulatory policies. “The Ph.D. program offered me the possibility to work with experts in the fields of Statistics and Financial Mathematics through a diverse range of classes and research projects, and most importantly gave me the opportunity to meet and collaborate with amazing classmates and faculty.” |
Chris Mulligan, Dual Degree BA/MA in Statistics, 2015 Current duties: build statistical models to make financial market predictions using highly non-traditional data. “The Statistics department provided a grounding in the key areas of statistics, giving me a set of tools I’ve been able to directly leverage professionally. More importantly, the department taught me how to learn and understand statistical problems, so that when I face novel problems in the future I can figure out how to solve them.” |
