About Me

My name is Raúl Penagos Solórzano, I am a Physics graduate with strong quantitative, programming skills and relentless curiosity. Currently, I pursue an Interuniversitary Master in Banking and Quantitative Finance at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. I seek to apply mathematical modeling, statistical analysis expertise and machine learning skills to quantitative challenges.

I studied Physics at University of Cantabria from 2021 to 2025, along my degree I have always been really keen on its applied posibilities: the medical, industrial, or environmental applications that show the power and commitment of science and mathematics into improving everyday’s world. Thanks to the proficient Python coding, data intepretation and analysis, and mathematical skills gained during research projects in particle physics, I seek to create added value to our society, through the fascinating world od data and finance, a fundamental engine to social and economical growth.

My two overseas experiences in the United States of America have shaped me into a really open minded and self-aware individual, who has a lot to learn and give when working with others. I picture myself as a very dedicated, hardworking and trustworthy person who feels specially rewarded when doing his best.
