Nurturing the Future of Quantitative Trading
At Kronos Research, we are deeply committed to fostering the next generation of quantitative trading professionals. On January 9, we hosted the "Quantitative Trading Training Program Showcase" in collaboration with the Software Development Club at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU). This event was a key milestone in connecting academia with the industry, empowering students with real-world knowledge and hands-on experience.
Bridging Academia and Industry
Throughout the training program, 40 elite students from NYCU’s Software Development Club actively engaged in our curated curriculum, designed to introduce them to the fundamentals of quantitative trading. During the event, students showcased their learning achievements, demonstrating their ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical trading challenges.
We were honored to receive appreciation from Professor Tsai Meng-Hsun, who highlighted the value of industry-academia collaboration in enhancing students’ skills beyond traditional coursework. Club President Lee Kuan-Wei also gave us a certificate of appreciation, recognizing our dedication to fostering technological education.
Our Vision for Quantitative Trading Talent Development
At Kronos Research, we believe that education is key to industry progress. While quantitative trading has been well-established in markets such as the U.S., Europe, Japan, and South Korea, Taiwan still has immense growth potential in this field. As a leading global cryptocurrency quantitative trading firm, we see it as our responsibility to cultivate local talent and inspire the next generation of quants.
Our CEO, Hank Huang, stressed the importance of making quantitative trading more accessible to students. With the dedication of our internal experts and a carefully structured curriculum, we aim to provide a beginner-friendly introduction to trading strategies, market data analysis, and algorithmic execution.
Expanding Our Educational Initiatives
Given the overwhelming enthusiasm and positive outcomes of this program, we are excited to expand our educational initiatives. Moving forward, we plan to launch specialized courses in partnership with universities, ensuring that more students gain exposure to quantitative trading and develop practical skills essential for success in the field.
During the event, several student groups shared their experiences, expressing how the training program broadened their career perspectives. Many were particularly inspired by the industry insights provided by our lecturers, which allowed them to connect academic learning with real-world applications.

We firmly believe in offering talented individuals a seamless transition from academia to industry. Students who complete our training program and join Kronos Research—either as interns or full-time employees—will benefit from industry-leading compensation and career growth opportunities. Our goal is to ensure that the brightest minds in technology and finance can unlock their full potential and make meaningful contributions to the field.
