Opportunity Description

This project aims to develop a sophisticated web application for visualizing and analyzing sectoral stress in financial systems, rooted in the research methodologies of the concurrent research project on the "Stress Spillovers and Contagion among Non-Bank Financial Institutions" by Mikhail Oet (Associate Teaching Professor, CPS) and Paul W. Chiou (Associate Teaching Professor, DMSB). Leveraging Mathworks MATLAB for advanced programming and visualization, the web application will provide dynamic access to high-frequency (paid) and low-frequency (free) datasets. Under the joint supervision of Paul W. Chiou and Mikhail Oet, this initiative seeks to offer an invaluable tool for researchers, policymakers, and institutions to understand the complexities of financial stress and its contagion effects across sectors. Integrating with the innovative features of MATLAB, the application will enhance user experience through interactive data visualization and analytical tools, contributing significantly to the field of financial analysis and decision-making processes. This co-op position offers a remarkable opportunity to work at the forefront of financial analytics and web application development. The intern will gain hands-on experience in applying MATLAB for real-world data visualization and analysis challenges, bridging the gap between complex financial research and practical application through innovative web technologies.
