A nonprofit research lab in the Dallas Fort Worth area is organizing an exclusive evening event where undergraduate students will present their original quantitative research to local professionals. The event aims to foster high-quality discussions and provide mentorship opportunities in fields such as quantitative finance, applied math, and data science. With over 40 students from universities like UT Arlington, UT Dallas, SMU, and UNT already confirmed, the event seeks to maintain a selective and focused environment by limiting professional attendance. Professionals in related fields are invited to participate as guest mentors, offering feedback and networking with emerging talent. This matters because it bridges the gap between academia and industry, providing students with valuable insights and professionals with fresh perspectives.
