G-Research is a leading quantitative research and technology company based in London. Day to day we use a variety of quantitative techniques to predict financial markets from large data sets worldwide. Mathematics, statistics, machine learning, natural language processing and deep learning is what our business is built on. Our culture is academic and highly intellectual.
We are hosting a virtual Quantitative Finance Algorithmic Challenge on Saturday 10th October at 10:00am EST and we’d love for Computer Science students to join us online!
You will be able to take part in an algorithmic trading game that will give them insight into the world of quantitative finance outside of the traditional company presentation. The event will be run by our Quantitative Researchers and Machine Learning Specialists, who will share their knowledge about the industry and how a mathematical skill set can be transferred into other areas outside of academia.
The game is great fun, yet informative and there is the opportunity to win 200 dollars in Amazon vouchers for every member of the winning team! Also, while are aren’t able to travel to visit you in person as planned - we’d like to use this saved money to donate to charity - every attendee will get to vote for which charity they would like to receive our donation of £1000.
