Hi All,

Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. My name is Vikram and I am a candidate for 2007. I had a great conversation with prof. Stefanica (very interesting guy) today. Look forward to interacting with the community.

Hi, Vikram, welcome to our community. Prof. Stefanica is really interesting guy to talk...and he is magician. You'll find out.
If you have any question, post here, we are all glad to get to it as possible. Good luck.

You can call him "mathemagician" :)

Wait till you meet him in person ;)

Welcome to Quantnet.
If you can, please introduce yourself a bit (even though some of us know you from GD). If you prefer to use your real name as your username, send me a PM. We all use our real first name as username on Quantnet.

Regards,

Sure Andy

I attended the University of Chicago as an undergrad and worked as a derivatives trader at Goldman' Hull Group for 5 years. We did some really cool analytical stuff there. I am just finishing a masters in operations research and have taken most of the classes an applied math masters major would take. I'm looking forward to really getting a strong applied background in financial engineering and would like to get into structured products or exotics.

From a personal standpoint, I enjoy fly fishing and am an avid tennis player, which I regret is tough to do in New York.

As an aside, looks like the link on the website to the refresher courses is down. Any way to get someone on that? Thanks.

Yes, we notified Prof. Stefanica about Refresher link. We will have it fixed in couple of days. Thanks for the reminder.
