After interviewing a strong field of candidates for the role of PDRA on the Stratlib.AI project, I’m pleased to share that our own Yunhua Pei and Zinuo (Henry) You will both be taking on the role part-time, while continuing to work on their PhDs. Under the supervision of John Cartlidge, Henry’s research will focus on explainable AI approaches to black-box optimisation of financial investment models, while Yunhua will focus on cross-modal AI models for financial forecasting.
