About Harish Naik
Bridging scalable finance systems with graph-based machine learning research.I am a researcher and engineer with expertise in high-performance computing and a PhD in Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and interpretability. My academic work explores the expressivity of GNNs and emerging graph transformer architectures, with an emphasis on explainability and rigorous evaluation.Outside of my professional engineering role, I am building a research focus on execution in financial markets, studying transaction costs, slippage, and market impact. This is an area I am actively learning and developing, with the goal of combining scalable systems knowledge, advanced ML methods, and careful empirical analysis to deepen understanding of execution dynamics and improve trading strategies.
