EXPERIENCE
Further Lane Asset Management, Quantitative Analyst Intern, New York

opportunities and identical bonds being offered by dealers

. Master's Degree Essay
Spring 2009

historical GOOG and DJX market data using a Levenberg-Marquardt
optimization algorithm in C++ and MATLAB
. Investigated the sensitivity of the fitted parameter values to the
initial conditions
. Black-Litterman Portfolio Allocation Project
Fall 2009
. Showed that efficient frontiers resulting from mean-variance
optimization are too dependent on assumed asset returns, and it is
best to use equilibrium market returns when there are no views
. Discussed how an investor can combine his views with the market
equilibrium using a Bayesian framework
. Concluded that Black-Litterman method gives intuitive portfolio
selection rules that are stable to small changes
. Regression Analysis of Real Estate Prices
