Vince Castelli, Ph.D.
Research Director

Vince Castelli, 56, our Research Director is a brilliant scientist who was a civilian employee of the Navy for thirty years. The Navy invested heavily in Vince’s education and training, and enjoyed handsome returns in the form of innovations important to our country’s security. Most of these are secret, but Vince and one of his ideas were featured in a big photo spread in Popular Science of August, 2002.

Many on Wall Street try to use advanced mathematical and engineering models. Jeff recognized that Vince was using these techniques earlier and much more effectively than the competition. Put simply, Vince has skills in modeling that you can’t learn in a classroom. He has been doing financial modeling for twenty years, first as a consultant and later for NewArc.
