About Dillon Hodge
Since the age of five, I have pursued my dream of becoming an elite NASCAR driver. My racing career has provided me with invaluable insights into the realms of business and engineering from a young age. From securing multi-thousand dollar sponsorship deals to innovating car components to achieve millisecond gains, these experiences have equipped me with expertise in both the financial and engineering industries well before my collegiate years.In 2021, I had the privilege of enrolling at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where I am currently undertaking a dual degree in finance and mechanical engineering. My passion lies at the confluence of these disciplines—quantitative finance. My fascination with employing mathematical and statistical models in financial markets has led me to specialize in derivatives trading and volatility forecasting.Throughout 2023 and 2024, I invested considerable effort into mastering derivatives, undertaking numerous personal projects to deepen my understanding. This year, I am in the process of founding a research firm dedicated to this specialized field.
