How can we excel professionally while adhering to our Torah Values? How can we resolve conflicts between our work demands and our priorities as religious Jews? How can we tap our talents and business knowledge to contribute to our most important communal institutions, or help launch new ones? These questions are at the heart of our Jewish Values curriculum and our ability to achieve our mission at Sy Syms.Click here for Dean Wasserman鈥檚 鈥淔rom the Dean鈥檚 Desk鈥 newsletter about the launch of the Jewish Values curriculum About The Sy Syms School of Business was established through a generous gift by Sy Syms, entrepreneur, philanthropist and businessman, in 1987.

Fontaine, Ph.D.Jesse Sherman Chair and Professor of Electrical EngineeringThe Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science & ArtNew York, NY Seminar: October 31, 2024 Abstract Many college students majoring in electrical and computer engineering choose careers either in finance or in the technological infrastructure that supports the financial industry, i.e., "FinTech". Here we survey cases where the knowledge and skills acquired by students who study electrical and computer engineering prepare them well for financial applications. First, we review the prevalence of artificial intelligence and machine learning for finance, and discuss how advances in computer architecture and hardware design are revolutionizing the field. These advances are driven to no small extent by the needs of the financial industry. Next, we illustrate financial signal processing with several examples. This field is built on the direct line from signal processing, a core area within electrical engineering, to quantitative finance. Finally, we consider the importance of latency in the distribution of financial information, and how latency as a constraint impacts design choices made by communication engineers.
