Finance, Research and Ideas

Thomas Amara

Welcome to my personal website. I am a second-year Business Management student at the University of Southampton with a focus on how finance and innovation intersect. Driven by a proactive approach to learning, I spend my time outside the classroom building technical skills and exploring market trends. This website serves as a space to document my work, research, and ideas. It brings together the projects I have built, the questions I explore through research, and the interests that shape the way I think about finance, markets, and innovation.

Projects

A collection of analytical and entrepreneurial projects exploring finance and business strategy, always blended with a bit of technology. Each project reflects an attempt to solve a problem, learn a new skill, or build something new.

Research

Research exploring financial markets, macroeconomics, and quantitative analysis. This section includes academic papers, research projects, and ongoing projects. The research I am most proud of is my US bond market stress index using HMM and UMAP.

Investing

My investing philosophy, theses, and reflections. Focused on disciplined analysis, risk management, and patient conviction over short-term noise.

Hobbies, Interests and Passions

The interests that shape my thinking beyond academic and professional work. These include reading, strength training, writing, and continuous learning.
