Quantitative Analyst in the Risk Modelling team.Striving to innovate by bringing academic theory to the energy markets.I am running a larger research project seeking to quantify and research energy market risk factors and the company’s exposure. We enhance active risk management and gain deeper insights into opportunities and exposures in a portfolio perspective. I believe in a broader macro approach as any asset class is driven by common factors, especially during increased financialization. This view help bridge the gap between energy and the rest of the markets. I’ve conducted high-level research and developed a comprehensive non-standard pricing model, program for both daily valuations and monitoring, and alternative risk measures for a part of the renewable portfolio.Python and a bit of C#

My research is within the field of empirical asset pricing. I've worked extensively with high-dimensional and big data during my PhD. To handle this, I mainly used Python, cloud computing, and machine learning. Besides my knowledge of asset pricing and time-series econometrics, I've worked extensively with various machine learning methods through my research and courses. Moreover, I also have experience within natural language processing and advanced classifiers such as long short-term memory networks and convolutional neural networks.In my first paper, I document asymmetric patterns in subsequent responses to good and bad earnings surprises when retail investors are the most attentive. If earnings news is bad, a strong reversal is present, consistent with an attention-induced buying pressure. If the news is good, then even though the announcement must also have been attention-grabbing, no subsequent buying pressure is observed. My second joint paper - Published in Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis - examines the vast number of potential factors that explain the cross-sectional variation in the post-earnings announcement drift. The literature have provided, what we term, a "zoo" of controls. We are the first to systematically tame this zoo by applying newly developed machine learning methods to this problem, which allows us to obtain valid inferences in the presence of a high-dimensional set of controls.The third joint paper - Published in Journal of Empirical Finance - studies bubbles on the US housing market under the COVID-19 pandemic. We use statistical methods to identify periods of explosiveness in price-rent ratios across metropolitan areas. The bubble tests reveal strong evidence of explosive house prices during the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast to earlier bubble episodes, we find that the frequency and size of bubble formations under the pandemic have been at least as strong in low-density as in high-density metropolitan areas.
