Dr. Roll, Financial Engineer of the Year by IAFE, has been kind enough to give me some of his time for an interview. I will be interviewing him in person this Friday at the IAFE Conference at Goldman Sachs.

Feel free to post any questions that you may want me to possibly ask.

According to Peter Carr, Richard Roll is the first rocket scientist to win Financial Engineering of the Year award.
He should be able to provide some interesting perspective on quant finance.

Please ask him about the placement situation of the first UCLA MFE class :D just kidding

But it would be great to ask his opinion about the UCLA MFE program, such as how they plan to compete with other programs and establish its reputation.

Lol I guess he is referring to the Aerospace Engineering undergrad degree from Auburn University and his time at Boeing after his MBA?

I will be sure to mention that tho with reference to Peter Carr
