Currently, I am doing my Ph.D. at the institute of mathematics and scientific computing in Graz, where I am working on developing applications of stochastic optimal control and portfolio optimization to the asset class of digital assets.My interest in the crypto market expands beyond academic interest and I tend to think that cryptocurrencies will play a key part in the future monetary system and the future internet as a whole. I am also running the FinTech startup Nerox with a team of like-minded specialists, where we are developing algorithmic trading systems that help us in participating in this highly volatile market without the need for human interaction.
