EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Experienced academician and front office Credit Quant at Citi. Skilled in quantitative modeling, XVA, R, Python, C++, SQL, MS tools and Machine learning algorithms. Strong analytical and business development professional with a PhD in Mathematics
• Ph.D. Candidate in Applied Mathematics and Machine Learning aspirant with more than 5 years of experience developing mathematical models in Quantitative Finance
• Developed a new approach to assessing wrong-way risk and the effect on CVA in counterparty credit risk. The results show that the assumption of constant correlation underestimates CVA
• Author of 4 scientific research articles and currently developing a model for deep calibration of rough stochastic correlation
WORK AND RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Citi, Hungary October 2020 – Present
AVP, Credit Quant
· Develop analytics libraries used for pricing and risk management
· Create, implement, and support quantitative models for the trading business leveraging a wide variety of mathematical and computer science methods and tools including hardware acceleration, advanced calculus, C++ including STL, C, .NET, Java, object-oriented software design, Python, kdb, Structured Query Language (SQL), mathematical finance/ programming and statistics and probability
· Develop pricing models using numerical techniques for valuation including Monte Carlo Methods and partial differential equation solvers
· Collaborate closely with Traders, Structures, and technology professionals
Morgan Stanley, Hungary November 2019 – September 2020
Risk Associate
· Performed timely quantitative analysis and tests for review of the models, identified limitations and found solutions for proper model control
· Contributed to the improvement of the IMM Risk Assessment Framework
· Conducted review of the quantitative models for the regulatory exercises for various regulators
· Coordinated with Risk Analytics team to test the implementation of counterparty credit risk models
· Worked on different asset classes within IMM framework: credit, credit derivatives, equity, Interest rate, mortgage-backed securities, and FX
· Developed automatized Python tools for the IMM team which reduced the time for generating reports
· Performed a high-level review of Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR), Internal Model Method (IMM) models and produced written model reviews reports submitted to different regulators
· Actively collaborated with model development stakeholders and CVA front office businesses, validated model changes with model developers on various aspects of Credit Capital exposure, risk management, valuation, internal risk management, and capital teams, proactively advise on risk and capital-related projects and issues, facilitate better risk and capital decisions
Szechenyi Istvan University, Gyor, Hungary September 2018 – August 2019
Research Fellow
· EFOP project on modeling the general and geographical health risk factors for health insurance premiums and classifying disease-prone areas in Hungary using different machine learning techniques
· EFOP project on the intensification of the activity of the Hungarian industrial innovation mathematical service network
E¨otv¨os Lorand University, Budapest, Hungary September 2015 -Present
Ph.D. Researcher
· Carried out advanced and quantitative research, modeled the dependence between assets, credit derivatives and interest rate products by using stochastic correlation approach
· Recently demonstrated that the correlation is rough for high-frequency trading data. This is a standalone result till date which shows that the correlation is highly unstable for high-frequency data
· Developed a model to assess wrong way risk with stochastic correlation approach and established that models using constant correlation under-estimate wrong-way risk.
· Results published and submitted to 4 scholarly papers and reported in 3 international conferences and 2 seminar lectures
