I am a Wharton Statistics & Finance PhD and an independent trader (both discretionary bets and statistical arbitrage). At Wharton, I was a TA for asset pricing, stochastic processes, applied statistics and empirical finance. I then worked on Wall Street for 4 years before starting my own small business. In my sell-side days I passed Series 7 and 3. I have worked in proprietary analytical systems and commercial software like Matlab, R, SAS and Stata.
I do enjoy consulting and teaching. They say it gets you onto a completely different level of understanding the material if you can explain it to somebody else. Successfully. In my teaching & consulting life I have graduated several PhD students, in addition to helping undergrads, graduate students, researchers and business professionals. While at Wharton I taught big sections (up to 40 students), which is a decent medium for honing public speaking skills. Later on, I have worked with 1-3 clients at a time. Even though not as “flashy” as auditorium teaching, the consulting format allows for more lasting impact, deeper intellectual penetration. Much like TV allows the showrunner to develop a character better than cinema.
How is my teaching style different from somebody else? Well, there are many good people out there. Having that said, I am a matter of fact. Straight to the point. Not overly excited over the Central Limit Theorem (“everything converges to grey”, ok). I will not spend more of your time on the project than necessary.
There is only so much one can put in an introduction. Please feel free to reach out for more detailed information… I do know my field.
