Teaching experience
I specialize in designing and delivering applied financial education, bridging academic finance theory with quantitative market research. I have developed structured curriculum modules and instructional materials in systematic trading, quantitative risk management, and portfolio construction for emerging finance professionals. In addition to authored research papers in quantitative finance and empirical market testing, I lead workshops and educational programs focused on mechanical trading architectures, data validation, and risk-adjusted return frameworks.
