Sten Ponsioen

Senior Associate Director at MUFG Investor Services

About me

I am a Senior Associate Director in the Research & Data Science group at MUFG Investor Services. I am specialized in machine learning, deep learning, nonlinear dynamics and model reduction. I have 4+ years of experience working for Red Bull Racing, where I have developed and deployed state-of-the-art machine learning models that are used live during F1 races, using model predictions to make informed, strategic and race winning decisions. My academic background includes a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics obtained from ETH Zürich, and I obtained my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Delft University of Technology.
