propagation in complex photonic structure. Large Scale optimization
method in multi-dimension space. Parallel computing using MPI in Unix
Beowulf cluster, 11 peer review journals, and 14 conference
proceedings. Support NASA, DARPA laser communication projects.
(Top 3 in China)
. : Interest rate model (Vasicek, CIR, Hull-White, HJM, Libor/SABR, CEV,
Heston and Longstaff Schwartz) and numerical solution/calibration of
multi-factor stochastic process with stochastic volatility extension and
jump diffusion. Fixed income derivative (FRA, interest rate swap,
caps/floor, and swaption) pricing with QuantLib. Implementation of LIBOR
market, calibration of volatility smile/skew using SABR model. Hedging
interest rate exposure of fixed income portfolio using IRS, LIBOR futures
etc.
Quantitative portfolio strategy: Hedging currency, inflation, GDP,
interest rate, duration, basis etc risk factors in a global macro fixed
income portfolio. Mean-variance portfolio optimization with implied repo,
credit and liquidity arbitrage. Developed multi-factor return-forecasting
model for equity/commodity index that separates stochastic and time
varying component of return to achieve significant forecasting power (out
of sample R2>4% ), using technical indicators, company specific risk
factors (wealth consumption ratio, book to market, momentum, etc),
arbitrage factors (such as commodity futures open interest, inventory
data etc.) and macroeconomic factors.
8 years' experience in trading equity, E-mini futures, and equity
derivatives.
