Nicolas was born in Paris before moving to live in Sydney. He completed an undergraduate degree in applied mathematics at the University of Sydney. His honours dissertation project used a combination of neural networks and dimensionality reduction techniques to forecast meteorological time series data. While on the programme, Nicolas will be working with his supervisors Mihai Cucuringu and Álvaro Cartea on problems in quantitative finance. His interest in quantitative finance was sparked by internships at market making firms. Previously, he has worked as a high school maths teacher and as a maths tutor at the University of Sydney. In his free time, Nicolas enjoys making electronic music, going on bush walks and playing poker.
