About Me
My name is Yanxuanshaozhu. I'm a Computer Science graduate of Brandeis University. Before Brandeis, I studied mathematics, finance, and economics at Xiamen University. I enjoy playing the piano (I have a Level 10 certificate) and chess (I'm certified as an amateur chess master). I also started learning French in December 2023. My interests include exploring areas like fintech (asset pricing, quantitative risk management), data mining, and distributed systems.
