Mame Diarra Toure

I am a PhD student at McGill University, where I am being advised by Adam Oberman. In my research, I work on the mathematical model behind reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning. I aim to apply those methods to industry problems particularly quantitative finance problems such as asset pricing in high dimension or portfolio and risk management. My work is funded by a Dean fellowship and MILA fellowship.

Prior to joining McGill I worked as a quantitative analyst at Société Général. I did my undergraduate and part of my graduate training in France where I attended Lycée Sainte-Croix Sainte-Euverte and ENSIIE-France's Grandes Ecoles system. I hold an engineering degree in applied mathematics and computer science from ENSIIE and spent the third year of ENSIIE's curriculum at Paris Saclay University where I earned a Master in quantitative finance with first class honors.

Research

I'm interested in machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, stochastic control problems, stochastic differential equations and partial differential equations. I am currently working on finding a suitable mathematical model that could be use for deep reinforcement learning in rder to solve problem for which the state space is continuous or infinite,

During my undergraduate and graduate studies degree I had the chance to work on some research projects alone or with my classmates
