Dr. Malick Sy

Dr. Malick Sy is a data mining professional, Artificial Intelligence practitioner and crypto-currency pricing expert. He is the Professor Chair of Finance at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and a Visiting Professor of International Finance at the City University of New York (CUNY). Dr. Malick Sy has also advised the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (Bursa Malaysia), Singapore Stock Exchange, and published in numerous prestigious academic journals on the subject of risk management in financial markets.

As a seasoned crypto market observer, Dr. Malick points out that the recent market has seen sharpened pricing volatility in leading cryptocurrencies and alt-coins. This has unavoidably led to great difficulty in managing the risk impact on the respective blockchain projects.

“In the last year, I’ve researched and developed predictive models for the pricing and risks of cryptocurrencies individually and also cumulatively as an asset class. I obtained data from cryptocurrency exchanges, raw blockchain transactions, and text based data in market announcements, news sources and forums. Applying deep learning approaches in neural networks, it is possible to discern patterns in market fluctuations, movements, and trends inherent in the cryptocurrency market for Bitcoin, Ethereum and other targeted alt-coins. It’s amazing how the neural network can keep learning and adapting insights from live data feeds, yielding higher quality and timely insights over time.”

Dr. Malick Sy’s intensively-researched crypto pricing model has been peer reviewed by top academics and he has been invited to present it at the upcoming 25th Annual Conference of the Multinational Finance Society in Budapest on June 24–27, 2018. We congratulate him and share in his joy on this momentous achievement.

As a friend and advisor to Chynge, Dr. Malick Sy provides sharp insights into the pricing of Chynge CLXP (previously known as XCLP) tokens and the crypto market in general. This is especially valuable in view of the post-ICO market-making activities and even the future releases of CLPX tokens for our secondary offerings.

A Belgium Citizen, Dr. Malick Sy went to school there and received two Master degrees, and went on to complete his PhD in Finance (Derivatives Arbitrage) at the Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium) after spending couple of years at the University of Michigan, Ann-Arbor (USA) as a Research Assistant. He arrived in Singapore in 1987 and distinguished himself as one of the strongest experts in Investment Technology in the Asia-Pacific region. Outside of his professional life, he enjoys playing squash, chess competitions, and travelling all over Asia-Pacific.

We are delighted to have Dr. Malick Sy on board!
