Summary
Nicolas Baradel is a research engineer at École Polytechnique with nine years of experience at the intersection of applied mathematics, actuarial science, and software development. A former ENSAE student and Paris-Dauphine PhD, he combines academic rigor from posts at CREST and Université Paris-Est with practical risk-management experience acquired as an actuary at AXA. He co-founded PGM Solutions, developing RCode (an IDE for R) and RPGM for building modern R-based applications, demonstrating an entrepreneurial flair for tooling that bridges research and production. His work focuses on financial mathematics and loss-modelling, with a track record of turning advanced stochastic models into usable software. Based in Greater Paris, he brings both teaching and industry perspectives to collaborative projects and tool development. An under-the-radar strength is his ability to move seamlessly between theoretical research and shipping developer-focused products in R.
