Sidharrth Nagappan

I'm a Quantitative Research Analyst at Qube Research & Technologies, a systematic hedge fund based out of London.

I did my MPhil in Advanced Computer Science at Cambridge, supervised by Mateja Jamnik and Nikola Simidjievski, working on computational biology. Funded by a Jardine Scholarship. Before that, I was a Data Engineer at MoneyLion.

I also co-founded Sambal SOS, which helped crowdsource aid distribution during the pandemic in Malaysia.
