Top SchoolAjit Desai is a Principal Researcher and Data Scientist with nine years of experience applying machine learning, tokenization, and quantum computing to strengthen the safety and efficiency of domestic and cross-border payment systems. Based at the Bank of Canada and recently advising the BIS on Projects Agorรก and Neo, he bridges deep academic training in high-performance computational science with practical, policy-relevant research that has appeared in top journals. His work spans anomaly detection in real-time payments, quantum-enabled payment ordering to reduce liquidity needs, and reinforcement learning models that reveal banksโ strategic liquidity behavior. Comfortable moving between HPC solvers for stochastic PDEs and applied ML for economics, he brings uncommon expertise in both scalable scientific computing and financial infrastructure innovation.
