Top SchoolPenny Brant is a quantitative researcher with a decade of experience at the intersection of AI, physics, and finance, currently driving research at Citadel Securities in Miami. An MIT-trained scientist with dual B.S. degrees in AI and Physics and a math minor, she pairs rigorous theoretical grounding from CSAIL and NASA JPL projects with hands-on market-facing quantitative work. Her background includes an OpenAI residency and leadership roles at MIT (class president) and HackMIT, reflecting a blend of technical depth, product-minded design, and community impact.
