On October 6, 2016, in partnership with BIDS, CDAR will host a Research Spotlight in the Doe Library from 6-8:30pm. This kickoff to our annual symposium will feature graduate students and postdoctoral researchers presenting their work in financial data analytics, and applications of statistical processes in risk management. We’ll hear about up-and-coming research projects in finance and data analytics, meet peers from industry and academia, and enjoy refreshments including wine chosen by our sommelier.
The second annual CDAR Symposium, presented in partnership with State Street, will convene on October 7, 2016, at UC Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium.
The Consortium for Data Analytics in Risk (CDAR) supports research into innovation in data science and its applications to portfolio management and investment risk. Based in the Economics and Statistics Departments at UC Berkeley, CDAR was co-founded with State Street, Stanford, and the Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS). CDAR organizes conferences, workshops, and research programs, bringing together academic researchers from the physical and social sciences, and industry researchers from financial management firms and technology development companies large and small.
