Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKeith Myers-crum is a physicist-turned-quant with 11 years of experience applying statistical rigor and machine learning to high-frequency trading and data-driven products. He built production-grade ML systems and led research teams at Civis Analytics before moving into quantitative research roles at Citadel Securities and now Jump Trading, blending experimental physics discipline with pragmatic engineering. His Ph.D. work on multivariate statistical estimation for neutrino experiments informs a methodological focus on rigorous inference and noisy-data problems. Notably, he designed a machine learning–based survey weighting system that ran in production at scale and has deep experience turning research prototypes into robust, deployed tools. Based in the Greater Chicago Area, he thrives at the intersection of finance, statistics, and software, bringing a habit of low-level instrumentation and calibration from his time at CERN to complex quantitative systems.
