I’m Souradeep Bhattacharya, a third-year student of economics at St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Kolkata. Currently working as a quantitative research consultant at WorldQuant LLC, I specialize in researching and optimizing quantitative alpha strategies. In parallel, I’ve pursued academic research with institutions like Presidency University and the Higher School of Economics (HSE), Moscow, mainly focusing on development economics, and published research papers in reputed journals. Besides these, I\'ve also served on the editorial board of Eco Echoes, the annual flagship journal of the Postgraduate and Research Department of Economics, and am a part of TEDx St. Xavier’s College Kolkata.
