Announcement 1: on November, 20, I will be presenting my PhD thesis that goes under the headline "Conformal prediction of air pollution concentrations for the Barcelona Metropolitan Region". If you happen to be in Girona that day, you are so very welcome to come.
In a month, hopefully, I'll be a doctor. I'll be able to update my LinkedIn profile and buy the relevant Ryanair tickets. They normally ask how to treat you: Ms. Mrs. or Dr., and it is a good tradition amongst the EU freshly made doctors to buy the "Dr." Ryanair tickets right after becoming such.
I will be travelling to Germany, Berlin, if you may ask.
Announcement 2: Owing to the current events of my life, I have changed my focus from epidemiology and health back to financial mathematics. I am a quant now. I've loved being green for a while, though. I've contributed to better world and cleaner air. Now I can go pure capitalist.
For about two months, I've been enrolled to the Coursera's course (sorry) named "Introduction to Computational Finance and Financial Econometrics" I am so impressed with the course and Dr. Eric Zivot himself! An amazing, very comprehensive, course explained by a gifted lecturer, and also the content is so aplicable to real life - what cannot be always said about the "classical" math courses. It is like the kitchen recepies: just pour your data in the pot and follow the instructions provided.
Above that, I've been reading a lot about all of the branches of quantitative analysis: starting from the options pricing theory to the V@R modeling techniques. It feels like going back to the University years when I still remembered what "vanilla options" are and how to program on C++.
Exciting!
This book is next on my reading list: just found it in the UdG library.
