From the Paper:

"Within the industry, the research experience I came across determined my decision to work for a buy-side position. During my undergraduate studies, I took the initiative to seek an opportunity as a research participant. In research, I analyzed publicly traded companies and made careful investment valuations. I am fascinated by the application of quantitative theories and modeling to price the intrinsic value of securities. More importantly, the experience allowed me to further develop key analytical and problem-solving skills. I believe a buy-side position in either hedge fund industry or investment banking will satisfy my fascination with industrial research and encompass a broad array of relevant topics from pricing swaptions to callable bonds."
