TESTIMONIALS
AlgoLabs has mentored many students over the years, here is what they have to say.
Ria Pandit, Cyber Security Engineer, DWS Group
Ria worked with AlgoLabs over a summer internship co-organised with SEPNet (the South East Physics Network). At the time she was a second year student on a Physics Degree at the University of Southampton with limited experience in programming. At AlgoLabs Ria undertook a short-term project working with large and complex financial time series datasets. Ria explored possible correlations between client trading activity and client demographics.
Najim Al-Baghdadi, Data Scientist, JP Morgan
Najim started working with AlgoLabs on a long-term PhD research project in partnership with the Computer Science department at Royal Holloway University in 2019. He origionally studied Mathematics at Portsmouth University, later attaining his masters in Mathematical Finance at Loughborough University.

Yuri KalnishkanReader in Computer Science - Royal Holloway University of London
As a Physics undergraduate, I was hesitant about my ability to succeed in a data science internship, but my experience at AlgoLabs proved me wrong! Thanks to the support and guidance of David and Sian, I was able to pick up a range of valuable skills and gain hands-on experience working with data and exploring my own research ideas. To this day, I still use the knowledge and experience I gained during my time at AlgoLabs!

Ying ChanChief Operating Officer - Scope Markets
I can’t thank David and Sian enough for the opportunity they gave me at AlgoLabs. They created an environment where businesses and students can work together and learn from each other. They not only helped me gain a solid foundation in the domain knowledge, but also encouraged me to think critically and solve problems in creative ways.
George WebbSoftware Engineer - JPMorgan
I was particularly impressed with AlgoLabs primer documentation that helped me get up to speed on the terminology and data structures commonly used in finance. After gaining this foundation in the domain knowledge, I felt like I was able to leverage many of the problem-solving skills from a physics background.
Denis JevticRisk Analyst - CoinFlex
A big thank you to David and Sian at AlgoLabs for creating such a welcoming environment. I was impressed by the care and attention given to each intern. David and Sian provided the support and guidance we needed to succeed, while also giving us the freedom to explore our own ideas and learn from our mistakes.
