"I graduated in October 2015 with honors. My dissertation was on Pricing Variance SWAP contracts under stochastic volatility models”. Immediately after graduation, I started a traineeship at the Italian Ministry of Economics and Finance (MEF) in Rome with the project: “Fiscal Multipliers estimates with Structural VAR models. After, thanks to the advanced preparation offered by the Master, I have been successfully admitted to the PhD in Applied Statistics at the Université de Neuchâtel. The research concerns corporate valuation and fundamentals analysis and supporting the course of “Statistical Learning”. From my experience, I would recommend the MSc to anyone who wants to acquire quantitative skills, and wants to pursue an academic career."
