Part of Elphinstone Research Group
A community of students exploring quantitative finance together. Come learn with us.
What We Do
We learn by building things. Members propose ideas, form teams, and work on them together. Mentors from industry help when we get stuck.
Projects
Members pitch ideas and build them: backtesting tools, ML models, trading systems, research papers. You choose what interests you.
See What's HappeningCompetitions
We enter trading competitions from firms like Citadel, Jane Street, and IMC. Teams form around each one and it's a great way to learn fast.
