Topic: From Trading Bots to AI Engines: A Journey Through Quant Careers
Dr. Yao will share his path from competing as a student in this algorithmic trading competition, to organizing it for five years, and now working at a hedge fund - first as a quant developer and currently as an AI engineer. Drawing on these experiences, he will talk about what skills from the competition actually matter in real systematic trading, how the roles in the industry really look, and where AI is taking algorithmic trading over the next decade.
Disclaimer: He is speaking in his capacity as a former student, and his views do not necessarily reflect those of the company he works for.
