Ezra Nahum, Goldman Sachs: The Life of a Quant 1995-2015

In this lecture, I will review different practical risk management and modeling challenges that I encountered during the course of my career (inclusive of my Ph.D years).  My review will highlight how the landscape has changed. For instance, while modeling exotic derivatives was the main activity for quants in the late 90s, capital optimization is the most important consideration today.
