The research

Quantitative modeling and public-health research, from Monte Carlo hedging engines to a Harvard Medical School collaboration.

Quantitative Finance

The Paylo Model: A Predictive Pricing & Hedging Engine for Commodity-Cost Risk

A pricing and hedging engine that reduces business exposure to sudden commodity-cost swings. Combines time-series forecasting, volatility modeling, and 100,000+ parallel Monte Carlo simulations over millions of daily data points — spot and futures prices, weather, seasonality, demand, and macro indicators — with a hedging module that compares fixed-price contracts, staged purchasing, partial hedges, and options-inspired protection.

Adaptive Risk-Modeling Framework for Adolescent Substance-Use Prevention

Led a systems-level prevention research project with Dr. Sion Kim Harris (Harvard Medical School). Built a 27-variable risk model across four exposure domains — neurodevelopmental susceptibility, socioeconomic instability, peer networks, and digital exposure — and translated it into a 4-layer intervention architecture with 18 prevention indicators and longitudinal feedback loops for schools and policymakers.
