Professional Bio
Alexander Eriksson Byström
I am currently completing my Master's in Economics, specializing at the intersection of econometrics, statistics, and machine learning. My academic path is driven by a fascination with complex systems and the challenge of translating raw data into meaningful economic insights.
Beyond academia, I have a deep-rooted interest in finance and programming. My professional experience spans market surveillance and exchange-traded products, giving me a practical perspective on how global markets operate.
During my time with Unga Aktiesparare, the world’s largest youth investment organization, I helped coordinate educational treks to financial hubs like Zürich, Paris, and London, engaging with the industry’s most prominent firms.
