Sr. Research Engineer October 2005 - Present

  • Five years professional experience in quantitative research, structural dynamics and signal processing algorithm development, optimization and research
  • Portfolio Management (Alternative Investments): Developed financial projections (under different growth scenarios and technology roadmaps) and conducted valuations, risk management (VaR, expected loss, Monte Carlo on schedule and obsolescence) and stress testing for portfolios of patented technologies for potential sale/licensing in conjunction with Motorola Mobility’s legal, licensing and finance groups.
  • Developed dynamic signal processing, optimization and parameter estimation algorithms (Matlab and Python) for optimizing the dynamic shock response of mobile devices. The algorithms utilized and optimized simulation data containing structural response from millions of degrees of freedom on the simulated mobile device.
  • Developed and integrated touch sensing and human tissue-based data transfer technologies. The research resulted in three filed US Patents (fourth patent being filed) and over fifteen IP disclosures.
  • Subject Matter Expert in Analytical and Quantitative Parameter Estimation, Dynamics and Signal Processing.

    • “Abnormal Positive Risk-Adjusted Returns in US Stocks based on Acceleration in Returns”, Sinha Siddharth, ABR Conference, September 14th 2011, Atlantic City, NJ.
  • Discovered and presented a paper on a US equity market anomaly wherein market-neutral, zero-cost portfolios (equally-weighted, rebalanced monthly) formed by sorting all US stocks (Jan 1960 to Dec 2009) into deciles based on acceleration in their past returns and then buying the stock decile with highest deceleration in returns while shorting the stock decile with highest acceleration in returns show strongly statistically-significant positive excess risk-adjusted returns over 1- to 12- months holding periods. These strategies are value and size neutral and momentum negative (statistically significant) making them an attractive compliment to value, size and momentum based investing. Effects of recessions, liquidity and seasonality in returns of these acceleration-based portfolios and sensitivity studies and back testing results are presented.
  • MBA – Analytical Finance GPA 3.96 (relevant courses – Fixed Income Asset Pricing, Empirical Asset Pricing, Advanced Investments, Investments, Financial Instruments, Financial Statements Analysis, Applied Regression Analysis, Corporate Finance).
