I’m majoring in computer science and I aspire to be a quant. Where should I focus my academic research to increase my chances at becoming a quant?

ML/DL/AI or algorithms—the latter is kind of like pure math in a way which is definitely appreciated on wall street. i think the future of quant will be more engineering/computation focused (as opposed to modeling) so take that as you will
