The Computational Finance and Risk Management (CFRM) program welcomed two new instructors for the 2019-2020 academic year: Ore Adekoya and Nam Lee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Ore<\/strong> Adekoya<\/strong> comes to the University of Washington from the University of Oklahoma, where she earned her bachelor\u2019s and PhD in Mathematics with a research focus on PDE models for waves and applied mathematics. Since moving to Seattle in September, Ore has enjoyed the change of scenery and local food options.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \u201cI like that Seattle has more organic-based products available in comparison to where I previously lived,\u201d Ore says. \u201cAnd the fact that Seattle roads are not flat makes moving around more adventurous,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This academic year also marks the first full cycle of the undergraduate Computational Finance minor sequence since it was introduced in winter 2019. This resulted in Ore\u2019s CFRM 405 course being in high demand, with record-breaking enrollment for a CFRM undergraduate course. Nam Lee<\/strong> joins the CFRM program with industry experience as a senior data scientist at Expedia Group. He previously taught Financial Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University and worked as a data science researcher at Johns Hopkins Medicine. Nam holds a PhD in Mathematics from UC San Diego.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \u201cNam’s teaching experience is both\u00a0extensive and impressive,\u201d says CFRM Program Director Tim Leung. \u201cHe has taught various quantitative finance courses, ranging from investment science to financial econometrics, in a peer program for years. Moreover, his knowledge in finance and data science will be a great asset to CFRM as we continue our efforts in Financial Data Analytics.\u201d Nam is teaching CFRM 420 this quarter.\u00a0 Welcome to the University of Washington, Ore and Nam!<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Computational Finance and Risk Management (CFRM) program welcomed two new instructors for the 2019-2020 academic year: Ore Adekoya and Nam Lee.
