Dr. Kevin Webster graduated with a PhD from Princeton University Operations Research and Financial Engineering Department (ORFE). At ORFE, he studied mathematical models applied to high-frequency trading, emphasizing price impact, and market-making models. He previously worked at Deutsche Bank and Citadel and is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor (Visiting Reader) in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London. Dr. Webster created and taught the course, ORF 474 High-Frequency Markets: Models and Data Analysis, as a Visiting Lecturer at Princeton in 2015. His publications include, The Self-Financing Equation in High Frequency Markets, Information and Inventories in High Frequency Trading, A Portfolio Manager's Guidebook to Trade Execution, and High Frequency Market Making.
"""Kevin Webster has written a remarkable textbook that studies these problems in a uniquely comprehensive manner. To wit, he covers theory, empirics, and implementation by bringing together insights developed in a number of different research communities, ranging from Industry Practitioners, Financial Economists, Econophysicists, to Applied Mathematicians. In doing so, Kevin develops the underlying theory in a very accessible manner. He also presents important practical applications beyond optimal trading (such as risk management), which showcase that a good grasp of the mechanics of price impact is an essential part of any modern financial engineer's toolkit."" - Johannes Muhle-Karbe, Imperial College London.
