“My six-month research stay at OMI was an incredible opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the world within a nurturing and supportive environment. The diverse research projects, seminars and workshops broadened my understanding of various disciplines, helped me develop my research and ignited fresh insights for further work. The interaction with OMI’s dedicated researchers not only enriched my growth on academic and personal levels but also made my stay an enjoyable experience. I am deeply grateful to Álvaro Cartea and Jen Desmond for granting me this exceptional opportunity, and to all the OMI students for their continuous encouragement!”

”Being a visiting researcher at the OMI has been a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with some of the best researchers in the world in a genuinely supportive environment. I had the chance to meet engaged and enthusiastic students and professors who helped me develop my research at the intersection of machine learning and quantitative finance. More importantly, they are tons of fun so you will surely have a great time! I am thankful to Stefan Zohren, Álvaro Cartea, and Jen Desmond for offering me the opportunity to conduct my research at such an incredible place, and to all students for their daily support.”

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to spend four and a half months working alongside the world’s most fantastic, driven researchers at the OMI. During my time there, my collaborators and I wrote a paper characterizing the emergent behavior of machine learning algorithms in competitive environments by combining careful modelling, mathematical analysis, and game theory. This work has inspired additional projects that we are currently investigating. I would like to thank Álvaro Cartea, Jen Desmond, and each and every one of the students at OMI for both an incredibly valuable professional experience and for friendships that will surely last a lifetime. “
