Mikhail Baranchuk Email & Phone Number

Hey there! I'm a machine learning researcher and data scientist specializing in modeling complex, dynamic systems involving multiple agents, graph neural networks, NLP, and security. This theme is core to my ongoing grant-funded research into AI safety (AI-Collusion & perfectly secure steganography) and generative AI. I am especially interested in applying the theme of multi-agent systems & large graph networks in quantitative trading and economics. My experience spans many domains including developing cutting-edge biometric security solutions, optimizing fraud detection algorithms, and building SOTA computer vision models for technology firms ranging from pre-seed start-ups to established firms like Nuance Communications/Microsoft. I have also worked extensively with financial data through developing software and optimizing financial/risk models at Morgan Stanley and the National Bank of Canada, and having excelled in algorithmic trading competitions like Optiver's Trading at Close and IMC Trading's Prosperity Trading Competition.As a recent graduate of the University of Oxford's M.Sc. in Advanced Computer Science program and an undergraduate degree in Statistics + Computer Science from McGill University, I bring a robust theoretical foundation to practical applications in AI, data science, and finance. Thanks for peeking at my profile. I would love to connect and have a chat :)
