To whom it may concern,
My name is Stefan and am from Malta. The job is a perfect match with my background and would like to put forward the resume for an open position. I have a strong statistical, mathematical and programming background and my passion is research together with inventing new theory, algorithms and implementing them into software (R, MATLAB, Matematica, Python).
In my last research, I invented a new mathematical theory and algorithm to solve the Nearest Positive Semi-Definite matrix problem in a sophisticated mathematical field. This research is to be published this February in the North American Actuarial Journal and the company who supported the research is daily using the algorithm to solve the problem in a few seconds rather than the 4 hours that it used to take them. This research is also in discussion to be sold to a large software developing company.
As side projects to my actual work, I teach statistical research at university level and help students with thesis research (statistical analysis; example at the current moment I am helping a PhD student carrying out a research on Dementia patients).
Below, I have briefly indicated my education and experiences but I can also attach a full resume for your consideration .
Education:
First Class MSc. in Actuarial Science (Dublin),
First Class BSc. in Mathematics, Statistics and Operations Research (Malta)
Experience:
Risk and Actuarial Analyst at Munich Re (Munich),
Algorithm research at TMK ..more
