Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Modelling and quantifying risk using various risk measures. Lots of statistics and programming, and a lot of meetings to plan things.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given my own project so I wasn't given a huge amount of responsibility. I had the chance to code a few components of the real thing so I still felt like I was contributing
