Lead Quantitative Analytics Specialist
& Computational Physicist
Hello, I'm Yaqi. I work at Wells Fargo, bringing a computational physicist’s curiosity to financial markets.
Exploring the fascinating intersection of quantum many-body systems, computational methods, and data-driven insights in financial markets.
I’m a physicist by training and a quant by profession. At Wells Fargo, I build models and tools that help people understand financial risk—from derivatives pricing to everyday analysis.
My PhD at UNC–Chapel Hill explored quantum many-body systems. That work still shapes how I think: start with a good question, make the computation tractable, and turn the results into something useful. These days, I bring that approach to financial analytics, statistical modeling, and machine learning.
From understanding quantum matter to making sense of market risk.
