Hi! I'm Ryan McManus

I am a Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science student at the University of Florida interested in quantitative research, machine learning, scientific computing, and financial markets.

Current Work

  • Conducting machine-learning research on solar-wind regime identification using Solar Orbiter and ACE observations; manuscript in preparation
  • Building quantitative-finance projects involving derivatives pricing, market microstructure, and stochastic simulation
  • Strengthening my background in probability, stochastic processes, algorithms, and software development

Featured Projects

Limit Order Book Simulator

An event-driven, synthetic-data market microstructure research project focused on order-flow simulation, execution costs, and inventory-aware quoting:

  • Price-time-priority order matching
  • Market and limit orders
  • Order-book imbalance signals
  • Passive and inventory-aware market making
  • Adverse-selection analysis
  • PnL attribution
  • Reproducible synthetic backtests

Monte Carlo Options Pricer

A reproducible Python derivatives-research project focused on stochastic simulation, variance reduction, and benchmark validation:

  • European and Asian option pricing
  • Black-Scholes validation
  • Antithetic and control-variate methods
  • Sobol quasi-Monte Carlo
  • Monte Carlo Greeks estimation
  • Implied-volatility and volatility-smile analysis
  • Interactive exploration with delayed demonstration option data
