RESEARCH PROJECTS
Bounds of Parametric Sensitivities in Stochastic Simulation Jue. 2018 - Sep. 2018 Columbia University, summer project under supervision of Prof. Henry Lam
Designed a simulation engine in Matlab to simulate multi-class customers and servers queuing system and track interested performance measures
Demonstrated that our algorithm outputs upper bound of sensitivities of service rate and arrival rate simultaneously using single set of queuing simulation; compared results with score function method and finite difference Statistical Factor Model and Portfolio Optimization Sep. 2017 - Nov. 2017 Columbia University, course project in Application Programming for Financial Engineering
Computed PCA decomposition of Russell 1000 stocks’ return covariance matrix through Power Method
Applied synthetic factors to conduct mean variance portfolio optimization with short position, coding a C++ program calling Gourbi solver to find optimal portfolio
Streamlined data extraction and finding optimal portfolio by interacting Excel VBA with C++ program through DLL; experimented on more complex constraints (e.g. optimal assets’ quantity limit, minimum position size) Optimal Stock Selling Execution Oct. 2017 - Dec. 2017 Columbia University, course project in Introduction to Financial Engineering
Measured market impact on stock price when sell using Power Percentile model; incorporated impact uncertainty and failed transaction factors
Minimized market impact by formulating dynamic programming problem; conducted simulations in C++ with multithread to find how parameters setting affect the model performance and model robustness Influence of RMB Exchange Rate on Stock Market Feb. 2016 - July 2016 Shanghai University of International Business and Economics, undergraduate thesis
Analyzed four pathways of how RMB currency fluctuation influences stock price and selected representative indicators for each pathway; Collected 10-year time series data of all indicators and pre-process the raw data
Conducted empirical tests on time series data such as co-integration and Granger causality to find long-term equilibrium relationship and use error correction model (ECM) to describe short-term dynamic fluctuation WORK EXPERIENCE
Gfund Management Company Shanghai, CN
Risk Management Intern Nov. 2016 - Feb. 2017
Developed Excel VBA to automate monthly risk control report and quantitative analysis on fund net value
Monitored the company funds by tracking their rate of return, volatility, max dropdown and beta value with CSI300
Conducted macroeconomic research and industry research by analyzing key economic metrics from Wind financial terminal
