About Prasanna

Senior Quantitative Modelling Expert | Python · ML · Numerical Methods | PhD | CQF 2026

PhD-level quantitative modeller with 13+ years delivering production-grade ML, PDE-based, and stochastic models at SLB. Patent holder. CQF 2026. Available for freelance missions in quantitative modelling, data science, forecasting, and algorithmic strategy across energy, finance, and tech sectors.

I am a senior quantitative modelling expert with a PhD in Computational Sciences (University of Michigan) and 13+ years of experience designing, building, and deploying complex mathematical models in production environments at SLB, one of the world's largest technology companies.
My expertise spans numerical methods, stochastic modelling, Monte Carlo simulation, PDE-based algorithms, machine learning pipelines, and optimisation — applied to real-world problems with direct commercial impact. I hold a granted patent for a hybrid ML and physics-based auto-calibration model (2025), have published in peer-reviewed international journals, and have presented as an invited keynote speaker at European and international conferences.
I am currently completing the Certificate in Quantitative Finance (CQF, 2026 cohort), deepening my expertise in derivatives pricing, quantitative risk, time series analysis, and algorithmic trading strategies.
