Nelson Saiers is an American artist and math Ph.D.[1][2][3] He earned his doctorate in 1 year at age 23. Before becoming an artist, he was previously Chief Investment Officer of Saiers Capital, LLC (formerly Alphabet Management, LLC). Earlier in his career he was a Managing Director at Deutsche Bank AG. EducationIn 1998, Nelson Saiers earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Virginia at the age of 23,[4] only one year after completing his undergraduate studies.[5] He studied algebraic topology and cobordism theory.[6] At Deutsche Bank Saiers was known for his mental math abilities, in particular, squaring large numbers. On one such occasion in 2008, he squared a 20-digit number in his head on a flight back to New York from a business meeting in London. In 2009 after spending several days squaring a 43 digit number Saiers suffered from severe headaches and a reduced capacity to form sentences. While these symptoms dissipated within a couple of days, this episode led him to give up on his ultimate goal squaring of a 50 digit number. Financial careerNelson began his trading career at Susquehanna Investment Group. He also later worked at UBS and Deutsche Bank.[7] At Deutsche Bank, Nelson was a Managing Director and ran a proprietary trading business focused on derivatives.[7] In July 2010, Nelson left Deustche Bank to join Alphabet Management, a New York hedge fund specializing in options.[7] He was promoted to Chief Investment Officer in March 2011, just eight months after joining the firm.[8][9] Saiers' younger brother Scott also joined Alphabet in February 2012 as Head Trader.[10] In 2011, Alphabet Management won the HFMWeek award for the top Relative Value Hedge Fund. [11] In December 2012 Alphabet announced that the firm would be changing its name to Saiers Capital, LLC.[12] Barron's described Saiers as a star quantitative investor.[13] Art careerNelson is currently a professional artist based in New York City.[14] [15] Mathematics, finance, physics, and braille play a significant role in his art.[16] His art has been featured in solo shows at Harvard University, Alcatraz, HG Contemporary Gallery, and Studio Vendome.[17][18][19][20][21][22] The New York Observer referred to Saiers as "The Warhol of Wall Street" [23] and Artnet asked if he is a modern-day Kandinsky.[24]Life and personalitySaiers was born in Denver, Colorado but raised in Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Swaziland, and Ghana while his father worked for the USAID. As a child he lived through several wars including tanks firing outside his house in Afghanistan and being held up at machine gun point as a one year old.[25] Saiers is a practicing Christian. Press quotesNelson has been quoted in Bloomberg,[26] The Wall Street Journal,[27] Barron's,[28] and The Financial Post on topics such as China,[29] India, European Sovereign Debt,[30] Facebook,[31] Dell,[32] and the price of gold as well as overall market trends. PhilanthropyNelson has an affiliation with water, which attempts to provide clean water to those in developing countries. Nelson is a Founding Member of The Well, a core group of donors who support charity: water.[33] In October 2013, during the graffiti artist Banksy's month-long New York project "Better Out Than In," Nelson made a public offer to donate $100,000 to the Hurricane Sandy rebuilding effort if Banksy created a legal mural in New York to raise awareness for people still affected by the storm.[34] An anonymous donor "RD" has also joined this effort, and has pledged an additional $100,000. Nelson has created a website for the effort: http://www.heybanksy.com. Whether the piece was created or not is unknown, but on October 28, Nelson decided to go forward with the $100,000 donation regardless.[35] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Daniel|first1=Daria|title=artnet Asks: Nelson Saiers, Artist-Mathematician|url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/artnet-asks-nelson-saiers-282489|website=Artnet.com|accessdate=March 31, 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=O'Shaughnessy|first1=Tracey|title=Connecting the Dots|url=http://uvamagazine.org/articles/connecting_the_dots|website=uvamagazine.org|publisher=UVA Magazine|accessdate=March 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=085.
