ACADEMIC/RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Hunter College, City University of New York, New York, NY September 2015 - November 2016 Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Student

Consolidated my knowledge of mathematics, statistics, and economics in order to conduct research into the field of mathematical finance and to produce a case study on the subject of interest rate modeling.

Graduate Research Paper: "Using Stochastic Processes to Model the Evolution of the Term Structure of Interest Rates." o Calibrated the parameters of the Vasicek and Cox-Ingersoll-Ross short rate models to Federal Reserve interest rate data by utilizing techniques such as OLS, MLE, and the Kalman Filter. o Used calibrated short rate model parameters, along with Monte Carlo simulation and partial stochastic differential equations, to simulate possible interest rate paths over a period of 120 days. o Utilized summary statistics derived from the simulated interest rates to generate a forecast of the change in the term structure over a period of 4 months

o Compared the results given by the short rate models with forecasts generated by other widely used models such as the Nelson-Siegel model.
