Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Jones is a quantitative researcher with 13 years of experience applying machine learning and AI to high-stakes trading and finance, currently building research at Jump Trading after leadership roles in data science at Cerberus. He holds a PhD in Particle Physics from Oxford, where he led DAQ software for the SNO+ experiment and developed ML-driven physics analyses—an unusual scientific-to-finance trajectory that fuels his rigorous, experimental approach to model building. His background spans equities, FX and commodity/freight markets, shipping production-grade trading signals and cloud trading infrastructure. Equally comfortable with research and production, he has a track record of turning complex data sources (including satellite feeds) into operational strategies and fast, scalable systems. Based in Stony Stratford, he combines academic rigor with hands-on engineering and a founder’s mindset from co-founding a fast event-parsing consumer app.
