In episode five of the CapConversation, we talk to Dr. Ionut Florescu, PhD, an award-winning Research Associate Professor of Financial Engineering and Director of the Hanlon Financial Systems Lab at Stevens Institute of Technology. Florescu, who grew up in Romania under Communist rule, shares the fascinating story of why he chose to become a high school professor of Mathematics, and how he created SHIFT (Stevens High Frequency Trading), an advanced market simulation platform that replicates the real-time, high-frequency behavior of a modern automated exchange. The platform will be a utility for Capco clients to test for algorithmic trading strategies and other software programs intended to interface directly to the market, enable predictive responses to potentially disruptive events and identify potential regulatory measures to control or monitor patterns of market activity.
