On November 8, 2019, a group of finance graduate students from the University of Calabria, Italy, accompanied by Dr. Gianpiero Barbuto, the University’s Manager of International Relations, ended their 2-week Corporate Finance Seminar at the Manhattan Institute of Management with a presentation by Mr. Stefano Pasquali, Managing Director, Head of Liquidity Research Group at BlackRock Solutions.
BlackRock is a global investment management corporation based in New York City where Mr. Pasquali is responsible for market liquidity modelling, as well as estimating portfolio liquidity risk profiles. He explained to the students how his responsibilities cover defining cross asset class models, leveraging available trade data and developing innovative machine learning based approaches to better estimate market liquidity.
Our group was thrilled by this presentation and enthused to meet such distinguished fellow countryman: prior to moving to New York in 2010, Mr. Pasquali held senior positions at several European banks and asset management firms, and is a graduate of Parma University holding a master’s degree in Theoretical Physics, as well as research fellowships in Computational Physics at Parma University and Reading University (UK).
Thank you Mr. Pasquali for your enlightening presentation at MIM and safe return to Rende and the beautiful province of Cosenza, Italy to our group of students!
