Meet Abe, one of our winter research interns. We are delighted that Abe decided to escape the cold and spend a few weeks with us. Our winter interns not only get the rare experience of hands-on learning from some of the industry’s most creative minds, they also get the chance to enjoy the sunshine, blue skies and warm temperatures of South Florida winters.
Our research interns spend their time working with deep historical data that spans an expansive universe of trading instruments. We asked Abe to share a bit about his experience…

I was given a very interesting problem with a variety of different potential approaches. I really enjoyed learning about new topics, hypothesizing, and experimenting with code. Everyone here is very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I can see that they truly care about each other and are working hard to push the company forward. Finally, I had a blast outside of work attending a Miami HEAT game with some of my team, as well as participating in a clay shoot charity event.

This internship has been a great preparation for what a full-time career as a researcher looks like. The research team is full of brilliant, hardworking people who are happy to pass on their knowledge and place you in the best environment to succeed. I was given a very challenging problem to solve, very applicable to the types of problems that researchers here tackle daily. From the first day, I received incredible support. I met almost daily with members of the team and was able to discuss ideas I had, receive feedback on my work, and get suggestions on avenues to explore. I learned so much not only about statistical and modeling techniques but also about how researchers think about and frame problems. I feel vastly more prepared for future opportunities.
