Vadim Khidekel is the founder of a quantitative research consultancy. After earning a Ph.D. in Physics from Tel Aviv University he began his career in academia at the University of Rochester before joining Caxton Associates as an early member of their quantitative team—a group that later became A.R.T. Advisors, LLC. Following a decade as Director of Research at A.R.T. and a six-year tenure as Head of Equity Research at Teza Technologies, Vadim now consults for institutional clients and data vendors, bridging the gap between sophisticated data products and investor needs.
