Summary
Antoine Arnoud is a quantitative researcher and developer with a decade of experience blending macroeconomic research and computational methods, currently building quantitative tools at the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. He holds a PhD in Economics from Yale with prior engineering training from École Polytechnique and Tsinghua, giving him rare fluency across rigorous theory, advanced computation, and mechanics. His IMF tenure covered macro risk, fiscal operations, and Asia-Pacific policy desks, where he translated complex policy questions into empirical models and actionable analysis. Antoine’s academic work includes novel search-and-matching models on automation and an applied benchmarking algorithm for non-smooth global optimization, reflecting a knack for improving algorithms as well as economic insight. Based in Abu Dhabi, he combines economist’s rigor with developer pragmatism to turn research into production-ready quantitative solutions.
