Senior🎓
Top SchoolWeizhi Liu is a Research Analyst with 12 years of quantitative research experience, currently building systematic strategies at Cubist Systematic Strategies from a PhD background in simulation optimization. He has a strong track record designing and implementing statistical and machine‑learning driven trading systems across equities, FX, rates and commodities, including top-performing WorldQuant strategies and medium-to-low frequency global macro products. His academic work at NUS translated into practical savings and throughput gains—automated stowage planning for CMA CGM and routing improvements for FedEx—showing a rare ability to convert simulation research into multi-million dollar operational impact. Comfortable across Python, Matlab and large-scale data stacks, he excels at extracting signals from low signal-to-noise data and adapting models as markets evolve to deliver high risk-adjusted returns with low correlation. Based in Hong Kong, he blends academic rigor with trading instincts and a pragmatic engineering focus on rapid hypothesis testing and portfolio construction.
