Chad Wildman completed a Ph.D. in Mathematics with a focus on nonlinear partial differential equations at UC San Diego, but he wasn't quite finished with his studies yet.
Looking to pursue a career in finance, he applied for the Berkeley Master of Financial Engineering program in order to integrate his background in theoretical mathematics with his drive to explore quantitative finance concepts in greater depth.
Chad joined the MFE program in Spring 2014 and was able to launch his career by participating in two programs designed to expose MFE students to real-world problems: an Independent Study project with a hedge fund and an internship in New York with Morgan Stanley.
Directly after graduating in 2015, Chad accepted a full-time position in Morgan Stanley's Strats and Modeling Team in New York City as a Desk Strategist.
“The Berkeley MFE is ideal for turning a strong quantitative background into a quantitative finance skillset applicable for the most challenging and exciting parts of the industry.” -Chad Wildman, MFE Class of 2015
