Summary
Sorathan Chaturapruek is a quantitative researcher with 14 years of experience, currently driving FICC research at Citadel Securities from Hong Kong Island. He holds a PhD and MS in Computer Science from Stanford and a double major in Mathematics and Computer Science from Harvey Mudd, combining deep theoretical training with practical data-driven engineering. His background spans applied probability, sequential recommendation and user-behavior modeling, and algorithmic matching—work shown in internships at Robinhood, Adobe, and Yelp and in research published in SIAM. Known for bridging rigorous math (harmonic analysis, Lie groups) with production systems, he has a track record of turning complex models into deployable solutions and patentable algorithms. Colleagues would note both his strong academic pedigree and his habit of approaching trading problems with tools from geometry and spectral methods.
