About the Author

Dr. Steven Large grew up in Victoria, Canada, and received his undergraduate honours degree in Nanoscience in 2015 from the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. He then completed his PhD in Physics at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada, defending his thesis in December 2020 under the supervision of Prof. David Sivak. Currently, Dr. Large works as a Data Scientist with Viewpoint Investment Partners, in Calgary, Alberta, using quantitative analysis methods and machine learning techniques to develop robust long-term financial investment strategies.
