Alberto Orlandini

I am in the final year of my master's degree in "Banking and Finance" at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart (proclamation in February 2025). Having completed my exams, I am looking for an internship to complete my course of study.

I have a strong interest in financial markets, especially derivatives instruments. My degree with a curriculum in Trading and Risk management has provided me with the necessary tools regarding pricing strategies and risk management when trading in financial markets, contributing even more to my passion in this area.

My previous work experience and participation in various university projects have honed my ability to relate within a team and efficiently manage assigned tasks. I am a dedicated individual with a strong propensity for teamwork, always ready to embrace new challenges.

I wish to work in derivatives once I complete my master's degree. I have studied the subject extensively, as evidenced by my thesis, "Stochastic Model for Options Pricing: beyond the Black and Scholes Model."

My educational journey, which began with a bachelor's degree in Economics and Finance at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (110/110 cum laude), was further enriched by a master’s degree in Banking and Finance, with a curriculum focused on Trading and Risk Management, at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart which I am about to complete in February 2025. This comprehensive course allowed me to deeply analyze the dynamics of the financial market and various financial instruments, particularly in the context of their use in trading and risk management practices and their pricing. 

The academic formation provided me with a strong analytical and critical thinking formation, which goes beyond solely academic formation. I got a strong education, especially in the market accounting and 

During my academic journey, I also participated in some projects, such as portfolio asset allocation, portfolio hedging, and real estate valuation using the DCF model which allowed me to gain knowledge of various modeling techniques and practices.   

My decision to undertake my master’s thesis in the area of derivative instruments, specifically on the topic of 'Stochastic model for option pricing: beyond the Black and Scholes model,' was a significant step in my academic journey. It allowed me to delve deeper into the subject matter and equipped me with practical skills that I can apply in real-world scenarios.
