CMU Master in Computational Finance Advisory Board Meeting
On February 7th, our CIO, Ashar Mahboob, participated in the CMU MSCF Finance Advisory Board Meeting, contributing to the program’s growth and expanding resources for prospective students.
His dedication to the board was recognized, particularly for the integration of Quantbot mentors and the Code Willing Platform, both of which have significantly enhanced classroom experiences and Datathon competitions.
A key discussion point was the impact of the CodeWilling platform and Data Store on student learning. The platform is seamlessly integrated into coursework, offering an engaging experience, while the Data Store provides invaluable real-world data, equipping students with essential tools for success.
Additionally, the conversation highlighted the need for expanding data availability. Professor Chad Schaffer, a strong advocate for the CodeWilling platform, emphasized the importance of increasing datasets within the CMU Data Store to further enrich student learning.
Ashar’s participation underscores our commitment to fostering innovation in finance education, ensuring students have access to cutting-edge tools and industry-relevant resources.
We’re excited to see how this program continues to evolve, bringing even more opportunities for students to engage with real-world data, industry mentors, and innovative technology.
