About Ankit Yadav
I’m an undergraduate at IIT Kanpur with strong interests in quantitative research, machine learning, and engineering-focused analytics. I’ve worked on projects spanning multimodal sentiment analysis, options strategy backtesting, wastewater and mutagenicity prediction models, IC-engine simulation, and large-scale blast furnace burden distribution modelling. My work combines statistical methods, ML pipelines, simulation tools, and Python-based automation to build systems that are accurate, scalable, and grounded in real-world behaviour. I’m also currently exploring more about AI systems, LLMs, and their applications in research workflows. As a Research Consultant at WorldQuant Brain, I design mid-frequency, market-neutral trading signals using time-series and statistical operators across global equity markets, contributing 250+ high-performing alphas. Alongside research, I enjoy working at the intersection of research, data, and engineering, and continuously explore systematic approaches to complex problems.
