I earned my MMath at the University of Warwick, focusing on dynamical systems and ergodic theory, with my thesis looking at the connections between those areas and stochastic analysis. I've since shifted towards mathematical finance and deep learning, under the supervision of Prof Blanka Horvath and industry partners at JPMorgan.
