My name is Phong Tran,

I studied Astrophysics at York University. I was very interested in it, as it gave me insights into a lot of different types of technologies and ways to thought. I also met and continue to meet some very interesting people, and wanted to share with you all the stories and beautiful minds of the people I have come across along the way.

With all the best,

    The Theory of Music What is Music & Who is Sean Finn | Mexican Beauty In Red | TRANPHONX Podcasts

    Welcome to the next episode of the podcast where I interview my special guest Sean Finn who is the artist behind the melancholic and poetic single : Mexican Beauty In Red.   Sean is an artist who is based out of Ireland and today we talk about his musical influences, his thoughts on music, the reasons why people make music and more.   Sean and I became friends through our internship at DESY, a physics research center and Europe's second largest particle collider, where Sean worked on some of the projects instrumentation, and has continued to complete his Master's in Biophysics, where he did a project on MRI Physics.   How he ends up pursuing his dreams in music and doing a 360 is discussed here and I end up forcing him to perform for me : )   I hope you guys enjoy the podcast, if you do, please leave a like, thumbs up and subscribe.  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seanfinnsta...​Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/seanfinnsta​Mexican Beauty in Red Music Video: https://youtu.be/fOsY_5aEqj8​ @ 0:00​ Introduction @  1:38​ Mexican Beauty in Red : A Deeper Look Into The Music @ 4:36​ Melodies, Music & The History of Music @ 8:12​ Where Does Music Come From : From Nature To Tribal @ 12:25​ Music & Influences : The Long Line of Music @ 22:05​ Music as a Business : Music For Profit VS Music For Expression @ 27:49​ From Science to Music : On Leaving Science & Going into Music @ 32:05​ Why I Left Science & Into The World of Business @ 40:16​ The Original : By Sean Finn @ 46:58​ The Cover : Blue Boy - Sean Finn @ 51:30​ Conclusions

    Financial Quantitative Analytics & Astrophysics | Gianfranco Bino | TRANPHONX Podcasts #11

    In this video, I talk to my good friend and former colleague of mine Gianfranco Bino who was in my classes when I was at York University studying astrophysics. Franco and I worked on the same project together, in different wings of the research, and he has gone on to get his master's in Applied Mathematics at Western University. Franco is now currently finishing his Ph.D. in applied mathematics and has landed his dream job as a quantitative analyst at a bank in Toronto. In this podcast, I ask him about his work, his past, and how he got to where he is today. I try to keep the content as easy to consume as possible, so I'm hoping you all enjoy the video, and leave any questions for myself, or for Franco, in the comments below.   @ 0:00 Introduction: Gianfranco Bino Ph.D. Applied Mathematics & Quantitative Analyst @ 1:05 Quantitative Analytics: Mathematical & Algorithmic Development for Financial Products @ 3:12 Fixed Income, High Yield High-Risk Bonds and Predictive Modelling  @ 5:45 Risk Assessment: Parameters of The Model and How to Analyze Assessment @ 6:55 Markov Mixture Models: Credit Migration Using Markovian Statistics @ 8:53 Markov Chains & Brownian Motion: Stochastic Processes and Randomness @ 11:32 The Randomness of Financial Modelling: The Chaos in Economics and Financial Data @ 14:07 Predictive Error Mitigation: Reducing Risk & Credit Rating Formulation @ 18:16 Algorithmic Trading: Growth in The Sector Using New Techniques @ 21:08 History and Background: Motivation, Limiting Factors & Drive @ 22:46 The Schematics & Organization: Creating a Working Entity By Design @ 24:44 Astrophysics & Mathematics: How Studying The Universe Ties In @ 28:26 Prestellar & Protostellar Cores: A Research on Magnetization States @ 31:34 An Astrophysicists Interpretation: Alien Life & Pondering of The Universe @ 35:35 Predicting Volatility: Market Dynamics & The Computer Models @ 38:06 Human Predictive Intelligence & The Effects of Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) & Machine Learning  @ 40:47 The Final Model of Predictive Analytics: Prospects of Developing An All in One Solution @ 46:45 Outro: Final Conclusions
