Robert J. Frey, Research Professor, Ph.D., 1986, Stony Brook University: Quantitative Finance
Robert Frey had worked in an array of operations research related managerial positions before earning his PhD as a part-time student in 1986.  Then he became involved in designing mathematically based financial trading systems, first at Morgan Stanley, then at Kepler Associates, and finally at Renaissance Technologies, from which he retired at the rank of Managing Director in 2004. Among his many current activities, he chairs the advisory committee of the U. of Chicago Financial Mathematics program (the country’s top ranked quantitative finance program), is co-owner of a small investment bank in London, and heads a construction company. Frey just launched his own hedge fund, Frey Quantitative Strategies, with initial capital of $365 million.

Tom MacCarthy, Assistant Professor, Ph.D. University College London, 2005: Computational Biology;
Tom MacCarthy’s research uses computational modeling to study fundamental biological questions in both immunology and evolutionary biology. In Computational Immunology he uses computational and statistical methods to better understand the mechanisms underlying the generation of antibody diversity in response to infection and disease. In Evolutionary Systems Biology he uses modeling to study the evolution of gene regulatory networks with the aim of revealing the forces driving changes in developmental networks and the causes underlying the evolution of robustness, or tolerance to failure, in these networks.
