Mike Purewal

I am currently the Head of AI for Equities Technology at Millennium, where I've been driving innovation since late 2023. Previously, I built data-driven products in Bank of America Global Markets, specializing in Securities Lending, Market Risk, and Credit Risk modeling, including the implementation of systematic trading strategies.

For five years, I served as an Adjunct Professor at NYU, teaching Machine Learning in Finance and mentoring the next generation of quants.

My foundation in data science and machine learning stems from my PhD research in Physics at Columbia University under Philip Kim, where I applied big data techniques to experimental physics.

Born and raised in Staten Island, NY, I now live in Westchester with my family. When not immersed in technology, I'm usually found playing sports or video games with my 3 kids. My own athletic achievements include completing a marathon in 2016 and a sprint triathlon in 2019.

The nerdier side of me is adequately covered by the blog posts, but in case you aren't convinced, going to add here that I finished second in the NY Backgammon Open.
