About Me

Ismail Mohamed El Hafed

I'm originally from Mauritania, studied at Groupe Polytechnique de Nouakchott in a Prepa MPSI/MP, and am currently pursuing a Master 1 in Actuarial Science at ISFA (Université Lyon1). My focus is on data-driven actuarial modeling, risk management, and advanced analytics.

Exchange Semester in Vietnam

My exchange semester in Vietnam was transformative – it significantly enhanced my English skills and opened my eyes to actuarial science in different cultural and professional settings, broadening my global perspective and practical understanding of the field.

With a strong mathematical foundation and a passion for applying analytical skills to real-world problems, I'm eager to contribute to the field of actuarial science through innovative approaches and rigorous analysis.
