Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVladimir Potashnikov is a Senior Quantitative Researcher with 11 years of experience applying advanced mathematics, ML/DL, and high-performance programming to economic and energy systems. Trained at MIPT and further schooled via MIT MicroMasters, he builds and maintains large-scale optimization and simulation models (CGE, RES, gas market partial equilibrium, air dispersion) using tools from R and Python to C++ (MPI, CUDA) and GAMS. His work spans academia, international consultancy with the World Bank and UN collaborations, and industry quant roles at WorldQuant, combining theoretical finance knowledge with production-ready engineering. Notably, he co-developed the open-source energyRt package and an ML-driven method to estimate input-output tables, applied across multiple countries. Based in Budapest, he pairs deep research instincts with practical coding skill to turn complex economic questions into reproducible models and visualizations.
