About

Hi, I'm Aidan Duncan, a third-year student at MIT studying Math + AI.

This past summer, I was a Quantitative Trading Intern at Jane Street. Before that, I did applied ML research at the LIDS and DINaMo labs at MIT.

I'm interested in Quantitative Trading, Applied and Theoretical ML Research (particularly NLP, Reinforcement Learning, and Multiagent Learning), AI Safety, and Theoretical Computer Science. Open to roles across industry and academia.

You can reach me at azd@mit.edu.

Classes I'm taking this semester (Fall 2026):

  1. 6.7980 Topics in Multiagent Learning (G)
  2. 6.4610 Natural Language Processing
  3. 18.404 Theory of Computation
  4. 14.19 Market Design

Outside of academics, I enjoy travel, photography, geography, poker (and other games!), biking, movies, vibecoding, and making random tier lists.
