Konrad Pilch

I worked as a quantitative researcher at Citadel Securities, one of the world's leading market makers. I completed a Masters in mathematics at the California Institute of Technology. My work focused on algebraic geometry and its connection to problems from differential geometry, number theory and combinatorics. I have a masters degree in mathematics and bachelor degrees with honours in both mathematics and mechatronic engineering from the University of Adelaide. Because of this I have a wide range of skills that range from problem solving, analytical thinking, engineering solutions to skills critical in teams including leadership, interpersonal communication and teaching. I am passionate about coding, mathematics, engineering and the process of using all three to solve complex problems. Outside of research, I have regularly taught mathematics of all levels to middle school, high school and university students. Teaching is a passion of mine and I have helped gifted students reac
