Math Professor Works to Keep Students Off "The Street"
For years, Chris Wiggins has observed a common trend in the post-Columbia career paths of his top math students: They join Wall Street banks. "They're resigned to becoming quants," says Wiggins, 39, a professor of applied mathematics at the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science . "They don't know about other options." Chris Wiggins, professor of applied math, hopes more of his students look beyond Wall Street for career options and consider job opportunities in New York's nascent tech start-up space.
