This is a temporary description of my background.
Before joining the I-Math of UZH I did Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge (my thesis was on quantum rate-distortion theory).
I also did the highly, highly recommended M.Sc. in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces at Imperial College London (this time my thesis was on zeta function regularization).
Previously, I worked in investment banking in London and Zurich (JPMorgan, Nomura and UBS).
