Konrad Banachewicz

Konrad Banachewicz holds a PhD in statistics from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His academic work focused on extreme dependency modeling in credit risk. In addition to his research activities, he was a tutor and supervised master's students. He transitioned from classical statistics to data mining and machine learning before “data science” became a buzzword. Over the next decade, he tackled quantitative analysis problems in various financial institutions, becoming an expert in the full life cycle of a data product. His work spanned high-frequency trading to credit risk, predicting potato prices, and analyzing anomalies in the performance of large-scale industrial equipment. He is a believer in knowledge sharing and also competes on Kaggle.
