Hi, I'm
Olivia Li.
Also Xiaoyu.

NCSU graduate Master of Financial Mathematics

Curious about numbers, stories, places, and everything in between.

A point of view

I work at the intersection of quantitative risk, financial mathematics, and careful questions. Away from the models: cinema, photographs, books, and the wider world.
