Financial Computing

Director, MSc Financial Computing programme (UCL, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Reuters)

I am currently leading the expansion of Financial Computing at UCL and internationally, bringing together key disciplines such as Computer Science, Mathematics and Finance. A core principle of this new initiative is to engage the financial services industry in driving a large part of the research and training agenda; including the buy and sell sides of the capital markets, both of which have increasing IT infrastructure and pose considerable research challenges.
