Yiheng Chen founded Yiheng Quant Tech to build modular quantitative research and trading infrastructure across systematic research, portfolio decision systems and AI-enabled market intelligence. He holds an MSc in Computational Finance from University College London and has experience across global markets, quantitative research and machine learning, including roles at ICBC, Tencent and Lighthorse Asset Management.

His path has moved from engineering and machine learning to computational finance, systematic research and front-office markets. These different perspectives shaped a view of investing as a connected decision process rather than a collection of isolated models. As AI makes analysis and coding increasingly accessible, his focus is shifting toward the capabilities that remain harder to automate: framing the right questions, understanding market context, recognizing model limits and translating research into disciplined portfolio decisions.
