Zamrik Quant Lab
Dr. T. Zamrik heads Zamrik Quant Research, whose work is the mathematics of deciding under uncertainty: when to act, how hard, and what a crowd of such decisions does to a market. The tools are stochastic analysis, optimal control and stopping, and mean field games. The papers here are working papers and technical notes; the essays turn the same mathematics into stories, a wildfire season, a flock of starlings, a price racing to a barrier, with models you can run in the browser.

Research
52 working papers and technical notes, each with its own page, abstract and PDF.
Notebooks
13 Jupyter notebooks: every figure made by its own code, to download or to run on Kaggle.
Tools
3 tools: live boards that each answer one practical question, with your settings saved in the link.
Essays
80 essays: a story first, then the mathematics, with data, code and live models.
