Hello, my name is Hesam Aslan and here, I will write about quantitative finance 📈, economy, 💰 probability, statistics 🧮 and investment in general. As an engineer and a self-proclaimed geek, I also love anything related to technology and I’ll try my hand in writing about new technologies. From time to time, I’ll also post about my trips around the world.
A bit about my background: I have a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Electronics) and I have been an analog chip designer by trade fore more than a decade. I have been designing integrated circuits for a variety of applications from high speed communications to DNA sequencing in various Silicon Valley semiconductor firms. While studying for my Ph.D., out of curiosity, I enrolled in a summer Business Management program in our Business School. There, I got bit by the finance bug and it ignited a huge passion for quantitative finance and markets in me. I have been studying markets, finance and economics since and I’ve been attempting to apply engineering concepts to what I believes lies at the intersection of engineering and the world of finance: a constant search for signals in a sea of noise, like a wanderer walking in the fog.
Eventually, I decided to formalize my financial education and pursue a masters in financial engineering. In 2021, I received my M.Sc. in Financial Engineering from WorldQuant University (founded by Igor Tulchinsky, CEO and founder of the quantitative investment firm, WorldQuant LLC).
