Marco Avellaneda: "The Era Of The Pure Quant Is Over"

Global Derivatives Trading and Risk Management - http://www.informaglobalevents.com/yt... Marco Avellaneda, Professor Of Mathematics, Courant Institute, NYU discusses future challenges and opportunities for quants at Global Derivatives 2013. He argues that quants can shine in the post-crisis environment by dedicating time to understanding the "pipes" of the financial system and showing they are people who understand systemic risk. There are a lot of interesting challenges facing the market and we must ensure we become problem solvers rather than complicators.
